G.Skill Turbulence RAM Fan Unboxing & First Look Linus Tech Tips

2010-04-07
so today I have kind of a cool product on box it's a ram fan but it's a neat looking one so everyone in their dog seems to have a ram fan these days the Corsair has one ocz has one and now obviously take this stuff to me let go let go this is not working very well now obviously g.skill has one there we go ok so we'll get this box opened up and have a look at this particular Ram fan the reason I like this one is that it is aesthetically I believe a little bit stronger than the other ones on the market even the cameraman who's like you know all into the Mac aesthetic likes this one ok so first of all we have a fan ok so you can see that this is a clear here we go 6 centimeter one ball bearing 3500 rpm fence oh that's a 60 millimeter fan and it is sitting under like a little like shuriken style grill this is actually this this gray part is actually kind of a rubberized grip 'part so it has kind of a premium feel to it also it doesn't use a cheesy mounting system like so many of the other ones do it just is it's a plastic piece it's got little foam grippy things on the inside can you see that cameraman yeah so it's like pretty grippy there and then all you do is you stretch it out a little bit and you put it over your RAM slots just like everyone else you seem to be like fiddling around with little fun screws and stuff I can't figure out why so here why don't we go into the user guide and have a look so step one stretch out both sides of the fan module step two buckle one side on step three buckle the other side step four plug the fans power connector into the 3-pin connector on your mainboard that was easy it has a one year warranty and oh this is another thing that really stands out everyone seems to think that it's okay to use cheap crappy sleeving on products it's not and so g.skill is actually using a premium quality sleeving check that out you can't see any of the colour of the cable inside even when you like move it around that just looks like a black cable kudos to g.skill for using a proper quality sleeving on their product and i'm also going to do a quick installation guide in a classic case of linus totally missing the point of demonstrating the latest tech ecology rather than showing it on g.skill ripjaws memory which is what i should probably be doing so you look how good they go together so you've got that like from the top kind of thing anyway so I'm actually going to install this on an ancient asrock motherboard for no particular reason so you stretch these out you clip on the one side so you can see the little foamy thing grips you stretch it out on the other side clip it on and it's just like that then you take your fan connector and you plug it into some available fan header it's that easy and it can cover up to you know what based on the spacing on this motherboard I'd say it covers up to six dims fairly comfortably on an average x58 board I mean really you don't need a lot of airflow on round anyhow so thank you for checking out my unboxing of the g.skill turbulence fan program
