some of you think RGB lighting is cool ed and you wear your RGB pride on your sleeve some of you our closet RGB lovers hiding your secret passion under the blanket some of you couldn't be more different from those people some of you hate RGB you call it pointless stupid cancer but whether you're sitting there ready to throw your wallet at your screen or your pull mat your forehead there's one thing you all have in common right now a burning curiosity about who makes the best RGB computer memory on the market and I have the answer synergy is the amazing software that lets you share your mouse and keyboard between multiple computers check it out now at the link in the video description for a company whose copy/paste game is so weak that their website actually contains references to cool channel memory the marketing spin on Geils Evo X is actually very good they boast that their H ilm approach enables dynamic RGB lighting without any performance or stability penalty because it separates the RGB lighting components from the rest of the PCB and their use of a standard 4 pin connector means across the board get it compatibility with software lighting control across any cpu type motherboard or even breakout control box like the ones cable mod includes with their cased lighting kits and they even include four basic presets on a little switch if you want to power it from the other side of the module off a 9 volt or a 12 volt fan header all of that makes a lot of sense in my mind so I get hey wait a minute this is just an RGB strip taped to a normal Ram module I mean they couldn't even get the thing to fit on there straight and that ignores that you will need power or 4 pin RGB leads running to every individual module a cable management nightmare what the Evo X does have going for it is that top to bottom deals line up passes the Rd savings directly to the consumer coming in by far the cheapest out of all our RGB Ram with a wide range of capacities and speeds available though only a handful of them were in stock at Newegg Corsairs Vengeance RGB ddr4 represents a significant up in cost but in return you get a whole lot more product development they not only custom-built their modules to allow the RGB lights to be powered directly from the memory slot but they actually built their RGB controller with storage that allows you to change your lighting effects through the OS the memory section of link isn't especially comprehensive but I'd say most of the important bases are covered breathing pulsing shifting and delay adjustments for dim to dim animations with brightness adjustments apparently coming soon and Corsair gets credit for learning from their experience launching the k70 RGB keyboard it's really easy to use this time another nice touch is that Corsair allows you to flip your light bar cover so that the logos are all aligned on x99 boards overall compatibility is pretty darn good with both MSI mystic flare and gigabyte RGB fusion working on Intel and supported in beta on raiven though that doesn't fully make up for the product lineup that's limited to 8 gig module or the lack of support for Asus RS Inc especially when you consider the price parity with G skills equivalent spec try to Z RGB kids this stuff is banaynays they managed to power the RGB lighting effects through the dims lot just like Corsair they worked evidently with a soos as far as I can tell on their comprehensive RGB lighting control software the interface is nearly identical to ara and they threw in individually addressable LEDs to take their swagger to a whole other level so you can run breathing pulsing flashing rainbow effects and so much more on individual dim or synched up between multiple ones the software is all still beta and programming it is a little unintuitive and tedious but it's pretty darn rewarding as long as you've got a compatible system Intel and AMD are supported on a seuss with MSI as rock and gigabyte support still pending but to their credit they have a huge variety of products available all the way up to thirty six hundred megahertz high density kits with sixteen gig dims that is to say if you're willing to pay more than twice what Geel charges for their RGB kits on a per gig basis so bottom line then GL solution while not much of an engineering step up from gluing in our gb strip to the top of your memory module is inexpensive and boasts the strongest compatibility with older systems and off-the-shelf lighting control kits g.skill is the most feature-rich but relies on more limited platform support for anything but the stock rainbow wave animation and Corsair strikes a fine balance between broader compatibility and eliminating cable clutter so the answer then to a big question as usual is I guess it depends do you need both a Mac and a PC for the different tasks that you do or do you have your own home computer and a work assigned laptop that you need to use at the same time well forget about having two keyboards and two mice that's stupid synergy allows you to share one mouse and keyboard between two or more computers so you'll no longer get confused about which keyboard or mouse is for which and it even works across multiple operating systems Windows Mac and Linux there's a basic and a pro version with one-time payment and lifetime access to features like a clipboard that shares between the computers dragging and dropping files between the computers the ability to set up hotkeys and more you can use our link in the video description too 10% on synergy today so
