line is tech tips coverage of Computex 2016 is brought to you by the Corsair lapdog the gaming center that allows you to use a full-size keyboard and mouse from your couch and by MSI so we're here in the corsair booth and they're showing off this is like unbelievable I didn't even know these guys make memory anymore I mean it's like keyboards this and like cases that and guys like George coming in and going we should do cases power supplies and cooling well no no no this is a back to the roots product this right here is the Dominator platinum special edition ddr4 kit well kits there are actually two of them there's like a dark plated one and a light plated one and the Vengeance LED so I'm going to start with the Vengeance LED since that's the one that may actually have some relevance to more than a handful of you they've taken their vengeance ID which is kind of that sort of sexy Corsair logo in the middle and then accents on the outsides and they've added LEDs to them they're going to be available in two different colors red and white to start and they support a couple of different LED lighting modes so you can see here they're not our GB so they don't cycle colors but they're able to kind of breathe and turn on and off and stuff like that the software is very very beta right now but it's going to be controllable through corsair link and i guess that's pretty much all there is to say about it there are dual channel kits and quad channel kits available all the way up to frequencies as high as forty three hundred megahertz now let's get on to the special edition now hate it when companies do a special edition that's basically just SE and there's no sort of limited quantity because you know what the SE stands for in those cases like well you know what the S is for in addition okay it's usually just like we need to sell this thing um what can we put on the box se terrible so no these are going to be limited to 500 units each only 500 units will be available they will be individually numbered and these are a Dominator platinum LED lit memory kit so there's going to be a four by eight for the quad channel enthuse yes and a two by sixteen for guys running on the z170 platform and they are running at ddr4 3200 now no one in the booth can confirm or deny this for me but I would speculate that if they were doing a hand-picked 500 unit run that 3200 probably isn't the max that you could expect these to run at and they are going to look absolutely sick in your system which as you guys probably know is pretty much how I shop for memory these days now this this is cool this is the MSI slash Corsair Seahawk GTX 1080 now they did a 980 TI before so this isn't an entirely new concept Corsair working on the cooler MSI working on the GPU itself and slapping all that together for a cool quiet maximum overclocking gaming experience but the big difference this time is that even though this product is kind of hiding in a corner in the booth because they don't have a finalized PCB layout they don't have finalized clock speeds I mean I wouldn't even be surprised if the backplate graphic design isn't even finalized they are claiming that instead of being nine months late this time they are going to be two weeks after the general availability of GT X 1080 graphics cards and ready to start selling this puppy so thanks to the single 120 millimeter radiator and 120 millimeter fan Corsair saying look we are removing all the thermal limitations and while in video was showing off clock speeds like 2 gigahertz at their launch event some folks on water are seeing significantly higher than that so thanks again to Corsair as well as to msi oh actually that's funny look at that this product is made collaboratively by both of our sponsors for the show this year for bringing us to Computex Corsairs big thing they want me to draw your attention to is the lap dog that couch mechanical keyboard fold mouse pad gaming experience and for MSI they want me to be chatting you guys up about the aegis at so that is their new desktop as well as their new GT X 1080 gaming X so that's obviously a gtx 1080 although personally I think this one's cooler but whatever don't miss any Linus tech tips Computex coverage by making sure you're subscribed and I will see you guys at the next booth
