this is the Kingston HyperX fan I was not expecting to receive one of these in the mail but I did so now we're going to be doing an unboxing memory is not included which Kingston so helpfully points out right on the front this is one of the sharper looking memory fans that I've seen we'll have a closer look at it when I get it open but let's have a quick look at the specs which we'll find on the back features are maximize your performance potential with HyperX memory and probably any other memory twin fans direct airflow onto the memory modules and the blue anodized fan assembly fits most gaming systems it is whisper quiet at 28 decibels maximum and it is a 12 volt rated with an able to 13 bulb operational range so they are saying that it can be under bolted the fans spin at 3000 rpm and why don't we get this box opened up I will use my handy scissors to slice open the packaging which did not work at all and so what I will do is I will use the scissors to cut a little gap in the packaging and then I will peel it back with my hands cameraman is giving me one of those looks like what are you doing but I don't care because I'm not accountable to him so my phone's ringing that back at my desk but there's nothing I can do about that now here we are we have a warranty and installation guide so it is a hundred percent tested that means that it's not like like 60 percent tested where they test like the metal and the one fan and don't test that fan 100% tested with an infinity lifetime warranty that is awesome this is the only RAM fan I've seen with a lifetime warranty and then here is a quick installation guide and I guess I'd better get started on on this installation process so that I can actually show you how to do it on camera before you get bored okay so we find E which is quite wide and the camera turned off I'm not sure why the the fan is got a braided sleeve on it and that is a very high quality sleeving you can tell because you can't see the silver color of the fan wires at all you can just see the black braided sleeving looks very nice these appear to be LED fans although I I guess I'd hazard a guess that they're probably blue but I don't know for sure that the LEDs are blue but they have one two three four LEDs on each fan so this is going to look quite sharp when it's installed in your system so here let me I'll just kind of put that there and you can sort of visualize what it's going to look like while I work on getting the clips out of their packaging here I got one clip out so the clips look like this these are actually really nice I'm a little bit surprised because unlike some of the other RAM fans I've seen they use like quite a thick gauge of metal for the clips it's got a nice blue anodized finish it's actually got quite a bit of glitter to it so it's quite sharp looking and they've got the Kingston HyperX X in both sides there so it's very Kingston branded but you kind of expect that when you buy a product that's basically just designed to sit on top of your other Kingston product and it's made by Kingston okay so these thumb screws come with the washers pre applied so someone is actually putting washers on every thumb screw before they ship these things for you which is pretty great in my opinion because you see so many products these days that just have sort of you know a bag here's all the hardware oh this I like check this out okay unlike and I'm going to go ahead and call out the Corsair one here unlike the Corsair one there's that here actually let me put the screw in first before I say this is really good because it might be terrible still hold on okay so that goes in there so there's a little washer okay so that just screws in right there and then let's do the other side really quick so that just threads right into the top piece oh shoot I put it in the wrong way Oh hold on trouble trouble back up abort abort there there now sand all actually hold on maybe goes here then does it go there no no that's for the fans this goes here yeah well we'll find out one way or another based on how short these screws are though I'm assuming it goes kind of in the top there so I'm just gonna yep there we go that there oh when the other place come oh there we go I figured you don't okay so this wasn't as easy to put on the clip as it initially looked like it was going to be but I still give Kingston kudos for having like a place where it just kind of sits and is centered because the coarser one is like really hard to hold in the right place while you're trying to put it on and that makes things a little bit more difficult so you know I kind of maybe what we'll do is we'll just we'll grab a power cord from somewhere I don't know if I have one in here and then we'll just like turn on that system so you can see what it looks like when it's on - that would be pretty cool get this last screw put on here cameraman is getting impatient he's not even like looking at what I'm doing anymore he's just holding the camera it's just you know phoning it in okay so here we've got a fan header right there so in order to apply this you want to go ahead and close all of those so you put the clip over the one side of the RAM modules here cameraman come over here so you can see what I'm doing here so you put the clip over the one side of the memory modules and then you put the other clip over here now you can see that it's not going to sit quite even because of the way I Seuss designed these memory slots but that's not really a big deal the HyperX fan sits quite high up over the memory so you'd actually be able to use tall modules whether from Kingston or or some other manufacturer without the memory fan getting in the way so that's that's a pretty cool feature right there as well so here let me see if I can find a power cord yeah I got one so you look even Cameron has as PC power cords lying around he's learning from the best here so let's plug this in and then you know what I don't think I even have the motherboard bugged in so you're gonna have to bear with me here for just a second while I plug in the 24 pin I wonder if that's going to be enough to get to start yeah hey that looks terrific and here's something to be cognizant of I got to move it over a little bit because it was actually interfering with my CPU fan so you don't want to move it over so far that it brushes up against the CPU fan but that looks great on the rampage three extreme which I I wouldn't have really because it's a red-and-black themed motherboard but you go and put that like blue on there to go along with the blue CPU cooler and it's uh looks pretty cool it's blowing down a fair amount of air and I'll stop talking for a minute here let the cameraman move in closer you can hear how loud it is I'm just going to stop the CPU fan cameraman moved close so they can hear you can't really hear it anyway because it's pretty quiet anyway there you have it that is the HyperX fan unboxing and an first look and it looks pretty good at first look thank you for checking out my video blog don't forget to subscribe
