so before went completely crazy and started upgrading with every hardware generation I used to have a bit of a personal policy where I only upgraded once for every hardware generation as far as as far as RAM goes I only upgraded my RAM when when the technology changed so from you know II do to sd to ddr2 ddr3 much higher speed dual channel triple channel those kinds of things but then I also always required there to be some kind of a capacity benefit so we've been in a bit of a rut ddr1 had to gig modules ddr2 had to gig modules and that was pretty much the the maximum for the mainstream sized kits and now ddr3 has been stuck at 2 gig modules for a very long time but OC Z's been kind of pushing the envelope lately to bring the price down on 4 gig modules such that we can get to the point where a 4 gig or rather an 8 gig kit with - 4 gig modules is actually reasonably priced no it's pretty standard looking as far as those cc's Ram packaging goes ok it's a low voltage optimized for Intel's Core i7 i5 and i3 processors quality performance and customer support that's all good stuff why don't we get this opened up and have a look it uses their standard gold series heat spreader it's their XTC heat spreader extreme thermal convection or something along those lines so look at this rep I actually grabbed this Ram just one to illustrate sort of how affordable Ram is getting these days so you can see there's nothing particularly impressive about the speed and timings it runs at 1333 nine nine nine timings one point six five volts it's a four gig dim it's got their their honeycomb heat spreader which they say gives better cooling overall than just a straight metal heat spreader just your standard green PCB all that stuff anyway I pulled this out more for like a little demonstration in my ITX motherboard of how much stuff you can jam into a tiny space these days because really increasingly capacity or the densities of RAM modules is one of the one of the better things that you can do to sort of push whatever I'm kind of rambling here it's an 8 gig kit it's reasonably priced very cool thanks for checking out my video blog don't forget to subscribe
