128GB of DDR4 Memory!!! Does more RAM = better performance?

2015-06-16
well you guys asked for it at least that's how I interpreted all the likes on that video I did recently where I asked you to hit the like button if you wanted to see these puppies so here it is one of only a handful in existence Corsairs dominator Platinum 128 gigabyte ddr4 2400 megahertz Ram kit and let's try that whole thing again drop a like on this one if you want us to make a video showing you what's in this ultra wide heroes box that I just got in the mail from LG the coarser HX 1200 i power supply delivers a B+ platinum efficiency for quiet performance and coarser link digital advanced monitoring and control click now to learn more we don't do videos about memory kits very often these days so when we do we like to make them count so instead of just doing a bunch of sexy unboxing footage where I tell you guys about how your memory kit with its customizable and color changeable light bars and sexy heat spreader design should you wish to spend this much on it will come in a custom box that was specially made for 8 dim sets and includes two matched trays of quad-channel ddr4 memory running at 2400 mega Hertz with Dominator airflow coolers to go on each side of your motherboard for maximum cooling and sex appeal instead of doing that I'll find something interesting to investigate and bring you guys along for the ride so not that long ago we determined that even for a high-performance quad-core processor ddr3 vs. ddr4 didn't impact performance much in desktop applications but I want to take it further this time and find out if we need quad-channel ddr4 ram if we kick things up a notch and throw in 18 core 36 thread processor at the same multi-threaded benchmarks so I fired this baby up on my usual a soos x99 deluxe test bench I was only able to get the RAM running at 21 33 megahertz by the way but I know that my xenon has trouble with high-speed memory and when I tried it on a 59 60 X it worked fine and that shouldn't affect our test results much anyway and then I ran my suite of benchmarks with a hundred and twenty eight gigabytes of RAM in the system then I was all geared up to slowly ramp it down and run it in triple channel and then dual channel and then single Channel when I realized I'm really not expecting this to make any difference anyway so let's just drop her straight down to 16 gigs of memory which amazingly is one single stick of this ram and then see how the benchmarks go and as expected going from single all the way to quad channel makes much no difference in anything but our seven zip compression benchmark and synthetic memory bandwidth tests and in those cases we were nowhere near filling up all 128 gigabytes of our memory either which leads us to the conclusion already who and what is this Ram for well it's for people who want the ultimate bragging rights to make their EP bigger regardless of the cost and I guess there is something brag worthy about having literally the same amount of RAM as your buddy has storage space on his boot SSD even if it will be years before desktop workloads benefit from this kind of a config and anyone running that many virtual machines or any of the simulation or rendering workloads that can benefit from this much memory should probably be using ECC registered DIMMs in a server or workstation anyway it's just that this is a lot sexier speaking of sexy Squarespace build a simple powerful and beautiful aka sexy website with 24/7 support a bunch of different templates whether you want to make a store a blog or a portfolio or whatever the case may be and with prices starting at only $8 a month with a free domain thrown in for the first year if you sign up for an entire year of the service they feature responsive design so your website looks great on a PC or even all the way down to a phone and they've got cover pages a feature that allows you to set up a beautiful one-page online presence in minutes you can start a trial today with no credit card required and start building your website just head over to Squarespace com and I think it's slash Linus but whatever there's a link there and use offer code Linus to get 10% off your first purchase so that's pretty much it guys thanks for watching and I have a new outro script that hasn't started rolling up the prompter yet right if this video sucked you guys know what to do but if it was awesome get subscribed hit that like button remember like button or even consider supporting us by using our affiliate code to shop at Amazon buying a cool t-shirt like this one or with a monthly contribution now that you're done doing all that stuff you're probably wondering what to watch next so click that little button in the top right corner to check out the video where I water cool a MacBook yes I do and yes it's as awesome as it sounds
