Mushkin Copperhead Liquid Water Cooled DDR3 Memory RAM Unboxing & First Look Linus Tech Tips

2011-08-28
today I have a product to unbox that is so cool that it comes in three boxes at the same time ah so this is actually I guess you could probably do it in only two boxes but this is the muskan Copperhead memory kit and so I'm going to show you all the things that it comes with keep your eyes on the boxes which one has what inside given that you don't know what's inside any of them yet it's going to be very difficult to pick out which one has the sexy memory modules and which one has the waterblock that goes with them so the first thing I'm going to show you guys is what I have here these are I actually specifically asked for very basic memory but most of the Copperhead SKUs are going to be very very high-end memory and let you know PC through ddr3 2133 for example these are only ddr3 1600 kits okay so these are 2 by 4 gig kits two of them for a total of 16 gigs of ram and this is going to be for my ultimate extreme build guide ok so I'm going to have 16 gigs of muskan ddr3 now the reason that I ended up going with the ddr3 1600 versus like a 21 33 or an 1866 higher spec like that is that I opted for this machine to go with higher capacity of ram so if I had decided to go for a 2 by 4 so just 8 gigs of total ram then being able to get it to run at high frequencies is much easier whereas if I go for lower frequencies then I can bulk up and I can throw in four sticks of memory without worrying about any stability problems now here is where the magic happens this I'm going to be careful not to touch the top as much as possible is the Musk an enhanced Copperhead waterblock so what you do is you take these two pieces right here which are spacers that have o-rings on them you put those spacers here okay you screw your throw your barbed your threaded barb into the top and you can actually install any standard G 1/4 fittings that you want onto the copper headwater block but wait there's more you take the copper headwater block alright so we've got our screws here position it over top of a copperhead memory module and you can actually screw in any number of copperhead modules whether it is three or four I think four is the max and you screw that in you put some thermal interface material in between the top of the Copperhead module here which you can see is flat and the bottom of the water block itself and that is how you cool your memory using water cooling so what this allows you to do is it allows you to install these modules and then the block on top of it no matter what the spacing of your RAM slots is and it allows you to install three three sticks in triple-channel or up to four sticks in dual-channel so stay tuned for my ultimate build guide actually if you come over here you can see my in progress ultimate machine which will actually be a lot better when I'm done with it so don't look too closely at it right now and thank you for checking out my unboxing of the muskan Copperhead liquid cooled memory kit don't forget to subscribe to Linus tech tips from our unboxings reviews and other computer videos
