in the beginning all ran looked like this green PCBs black chips gold contacts on the bottom boring today we have plasma ran yes my friends memory modules with frickin plasma tubes on the top in three different colors let's have a look intel skull canyon nook features a 6th generation Core i7 processor and Thunderbolt 3 you can learn more at the link in the video description now there are actually ways to spend more money on computer memory that offer meaningful benefits for example this is ECC registered memory it has an extra chip in the middle it does error correction on-the-fly meaning if like a solar freakin you know flare or some crap flips a bit on your RAM you are not going to compromise your data integrity at least in theory but come on consumers don't want that stuff they want flash not - so that is where the whole idea of Gus seeing up computer memory to make it look higher performance came from with guys like ocz and Corsair being among the first to take that regular boring memory I showed you before and put heat spreaders on it heat spreaders in theory are great idea they spread the heat so they take the heat from the chips they help dissipate it and in the early days you could actually get more overclocking Headroom out of better cooled memory with BH 5s or whatever but it's less of an issue today from there they went well let's get more creative about the heat spreaders that's where we got like stylized heat spreaders and these ones from g.skill look pretty darn good I mean taking it to the next level with Corsair with LED lighting on there heat spreaders and then well little windows so you could see the LED lighting even better but today's video is not about any of those things today's video is about the culmination a flashing memory that does not perform any better than any other Ram that is to say unless the other Ram is rated at a slower speed because that is how you determine how fast memory is button scooted is rated at not by how sexy it looks the Raiden series from of X here which we have here in three different flavors each of which is a different color let's check them out alright so for my first trick I will be installing the Raven series 26 66 megahertz of red Tesla ROG certified memory modules here what makes them ROG certified I'm not quite sure and I will never know because I'm actually installing them in a non ROG motherboard because I am a rebel rebel right here they're actually surprisingly light I have kind of expected them to be a heavier maybe I just don't have a lot of context for how much a plasma wave I think the tube is mostly empty and now you can see what they look like ooh that's cool oh there goes another one will the last one light up um wait for it yeah there it is that looks fantastic let's get these lights off that is gorgeous this is great news because there's a train going by while we're filming no but seriously this is great news because my intended use for these memory modules is actually for a father-daughter build and I asked of X here hey what color are they are they really red or are they kind of pinky and they're like oh yeah they're red but they're definitely kind of pinky which is exactly what I wanted I'm doing like a white and pink themed build it's gonna look freaking awesome so this is like the best news I've had all day let's check out the other colors taking a gamble in life which one is green and which one is blue there's only one way to find out actually there are two ways to find it well okay I did not realize that they were clearly color-coded on the dims so there are three ways to find out by looking at the box by plugging them in and looking at what color the plasma tubes are or by just not plugging them in but looking at them at all three ways let's get these in there this I'm expecting to be different and it is first this one lit up then this one Bend this one totally different I think it has to do with different warm-up times for the plasma tubes those look so freakin cool what I want to know though is if they're like the ones at science world where they're actually attracted to your touch and they kind of all they are no way oh you're getting a close-up of that right the whole thing get brighter get in there why's that we're not fun experiencing a whole new color of plasma tubes like that I sure think so and that brings us finally to the last color and perhaps the true purpose of this video because I'm sure some of you at home are sitting there going - this isn't even new these things have existed for literally years going back to ddr3 at the very least and the purpose of this video is that a vex ear reached out and they were like hey yo do you want to review our RAM I said hey no not really because we don't review RAM because we think it's kind of pointless it doesn't affect system performance much and as far as I'm concerned looks are as much of a purchasing factor for me as the speed on the side of the modules but what I did say was but we do a lot of cool builds and we would love to have some of that sexy looking plasma RAM that we can color match to whatever builds we're doing and they said okay but are you gonna make a video about our RAM modules I said sure we'll make a video where we install them in a motherboard and we show all the different colors and then that way we will have those sticks for the future when we want to do cool color matched builds with sick dope looking plasma ram things in them and that my friends is the purpose of today's episode of holy plasma memory oh I think the blue color is the best actually that is a that is a fairly deep sexy looking electric blue I am liking it now I was trying to come up with some way to kind of tie ting into the plasma ran like when you touch the plasma tube it's attracted to you with good energy and positive energy and calling ting and talking to a customer service agent instead of going through like an automated phone directory but it didn't work so we're just going to stick to the script ting is the mobile carrier that's focused on customer service and customer satisfaction first you pay only for what you use with the average ting bill coming in at only $23 a month per device and if you're stuck in a contract and you go over to ting comm I believe it's Linus ENCOM and you try out their savings calculator it will tell you you just put in your last few bills and it's like this is how much you would be paying on tank it'll tell you if you'd save money and if you would and you want to switch over to ting they'll cover 25% of your cancellation fee for your current contract up to $75 and they are now lowering mobile data rates across the board data is now just $10 per gig beyond the first gigabyte whoo every single tank customer will be able to reap the benefits of this change so head over to line of starting comm and try out their savings calculator with their new lower data rates and when you sign up at our link you'll get 25 bucks in service credit or towards a new device so thanks for watching guys if you dislike this video hit that dislike button I'm sorry that you hate fun but if you like this video hit that like button get subscribe maybe even consider checking out where to buy these cool memory modules or any of the other stuff on my test bench here at the link in the video description or you can also check out where my cool merch like this t-shirt that I'm wearing at our merch store over on teespring as well as a link to our community forum where you can go and talk tech including like why is Linus acting like plasma memory is new I'm not acting like it's new I'm acting like it's exciting which it is but you can discuss that with other people you know you can all be in agreement that I am stupid and you know wrong or whatever else I think there are other colors that I do subscribe and right don't forget to check out our other videos over on channel super fun right about over there yes oh that's plastic
