Corsair Vengeance DDR3 Memory Unboxing & First Look Linus Tech Tips

2011-02-13
as my longtime viewers will know I do like to make a habit of while not unboxing every Ram kit that you know ever comes out because there's far too many configurations for that rather there are far too many configurations for that I do like to make a habit of unboxing at least each heat spreader that comes out so I have not yet had a chance to check out the Vengeance heat spreader from Corsair now vengeance is sort of a value line from Corsair but what's cool about it is that unlike many lines of memory from other vendors you can see here that this one is optimized for core i3 Core i5 core i7 and AMD Phenom x2 so the timing is pretty good for that as AMD sales are pretty good at the moment with their six core processors being such a wicked value for video editors and such but you can see each module it's actually packaged individually this is smart because it means that Corsair can easily just by producing a different size box make them into a dual channel or a triple channel kit and by programming the SPD slightly different Lee so this particular kit is an 8 gig kit so that is it is 2 4 gig modules and unlike the picture which shows them as sort of a matte finish you can see here that the vengeance heat spreader is sort of in-between a matte and a glossy finish so it looks quite looks quite sleek now I don't actually have a motherboard handy to show you guys what it looks like when it's installed but you can see here that the graphics are actually done via a sticker so there's a sticker that wraps around the top here there's a sticker that goes on the side here and then there's also a sticker over here that has the part number of bar code as well as all the information about this kit so why don't we have a look at what this kit has to say for itself so it's a 2 by 4 gig kit this is a four gig Tim it runs at 1600 megahertz 999 24 and look at that nice low voltage only 1.5 volts on this particular Vengeance kit so while the heat spreader frankly doesn't really do that much in terms of RAM performance at this point it's often part of a nicely style build and it couldn't be that hard to find something that'll go well with the Vengeance module so thanks for watching Linus tech tips don't forget to subscribe and yeah please don't forget to subscribe I think I was going to say something else but I forgot what it was thanks for watching subscribe
