Patriot 8GB Single Module DDR3 Memory Unboxing & First Look Linus Tech Tips

2011-09-24
today I have something ludicrous taun box this is the Patriot g2 series with as you may or may not recall I recently took a look at a more sort of down-to-earth configuration so this one that I I checked out a couple days ago was actually an 8 gig 2 by 4 gig kit yep we're done with that here we are this is the 8 gig single module which is available in single module dual channel and triple channel kits but I have six total single modules yes Patriot in an exclusive industry-first groundbreaking manner has released a gaming spec a gaming oriented g2 series designed for Intel six series platform SKU with 8 gig single dims so that means that in my hand right now is 8 gigs on a single module just like this these are not like double stacked memory chips or anything special like that these are just very very high density modules so here you can see these are 1333 9 9 9 24 x 8 gig module these run at 1.5 volts yes these are relatively low voltage modules - very cool so in my hand right now I'm holding 48 gigabytes of memory so that's a similar amount of sheer storage space as you would find on an entry-level SSD not that long ago now they're not cheap but I just wanted to sort of break this news to you guys that patreon has 8 gig modules and I'm going to be doing a follow-up video where I actually take an x58 motherboard and we're gonna find out if we can even run 6 modules that is forty eight gigs of memory on a single x58 board and then we're also going to try a z68 board to find out if we can run 32 gigs of memory on one of those so let's find out how well modern boards accept this brand new memory density from Patriot
