last time on Linus tech tips we took a hundred and twenty eight gigabytes of unbuffered ddr4 memory and put it into a gaming motherboard this time we're gonna cram as much RAM as possible into a gigabyte bricks with some help from our friends at intelligent memory and on the subject of intelligent is it a good idea to run a computer inside a mini-fridge should I sacrifice the mini-fridge in the garage at our office to find out smash that like button if you want to see it happen the Kingston Casey 310 series SSDs we're using in our high-speed storage server feature firmware based power Blas protection rock-solid performance and large capacities up to 960 gigs click right here to learn more so this video is actually pretty straight forward from a mechanical standpoint just like any Intel nook or Brix mini PC this Brix is an ultra compact PC kit specifically it's the BX of I 3 H - 5 0 1 0 it comes with a case motherboard external power supply Wi-Fi module and the core i3 CPU it's got 4 USB 3.0 ports HDMI and mini DisplayPort outputs an audio jack Ethernet power in and it's super small and kind of cute so as usual it's what's inside that counts and there's a fair bit of neat stuff going on in here number one this is on the leading edge of Broadwell based pcs the core i3 50 10 you inside it is built on Intel's latest 14 nanometer process note making it pretty much a Core M like in the new MacBook that we reviewed here but with higher clock speeds and higher power targets since it'll be plugged into the wall and it'll be actively cooled but until made other improvements to performance on the CPU and GPU was increased over as well and power consumption was dropped 30% but not all of the improvements made it into the marketing decks and intelligent memory clued us in that on compatible Broadwell based systems it would actually be possible to achieve higher than the official 16 gigs of rated memory capacity support although this shouldn't come as too much of a surprise since these are the same pranksters that sent us a hundred and twenty eight gigs of ddr3 to test the benefits of over a hundred gigs of memory in Ed's ELLs workstation nearly a year ago so here they are the creatively named intelligent memory 16 gig ddr3l memory modules rated at 1333 mega Hertz speeds at 1.35 or 1.5 volts and packed up in a sodium four factor for your ultra-compact PC or laptop convenience installing them was as simple as any memory you pop open the brics slot in the two sticks the way you normally would although you'll need a storage drive if you want to actually boot up the system as well since this is a bare-bones PC and fire it up everything showed up sort of normally with cpu-z not giving as detailed a report on the modules as normal but Windows detecting and using everything just fine and even passing a torture test SEC a 32 gigs of ram in the palm of your hand but all is not completely rosy while are on the side gt72 gaming notebook which is actually right here this also features a broad well based cpu and also managed to detect the modules in the BIOS and even in Windows it reported only 32 gigs of our 48 gigs of ram as usable so if you want to avoid running into a similar situation where you get can't actually utilize all your shiny new memory make sure you consult the official supported list from intelligent memory since notebook maker support for this actually along with Intel's support for this is on official speaking of support teen.com if you call those guys you actually talked to a person instead of being put through an automated menu and they've got a different approach to mobile billing as well it's a pay for what you use model versus the buffet model where you have to kind of like imagine a buffet where you had to walk in and list like an itemized list of all the things you were gonna eat and then if you don't end up eating that stuff you have to pay for it anyway well that kind of sucks no ting is more like the traditional buffet you use and pay for only exactly what you eat except you don't even have to commit to like you know if yeah I just want a salad but like the buffet salad looks pretty good you don't actually have to spend the $16.95 your cancellation fee up to $75 and if all that sounds pretty good then if you head over to our link Linus ENCOM you can save another $25.00 in service credit or towards a new device so if you want to know if things gonna work for you because you know hey well it's pay-as-you-go but how much do you have to pay head over to line of steam calm and try out the savings calculator enter your last few bills and enter your last little bit of usage and find out if ting will save you money thanks for watching guys that this video sucked I think you know what to do but if it was awesome not 32 gigs I've written here get subscribed hit that 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 even through a direct monthly contribution through the community forum now that you're done doing all that stuff you're probably wondering what to watch next so click that little I in the top right corner to check out oh this is a good one to check out our video where we take the fury X and we put it head-to-head against the gtx 980ti and a little tiny pc and see which one performs better small computers they're kind of a fetish of mine oh yeah I don't forget to subscribe if you haven't already
