Corsair RGB DDR4 Memory Review - Cosmetics at a Cost

2017-03-26
corsair have done it again this time they have managed to implement even more RGB into a computer with ddr4 memory so let's take a look at the features and also how well this stuff overclocked welcome back to exiting today we have here some memory with four different color mode static where you pick a single color that doesn't change color pulse where you can select up to seven colors of the memory pulses through then there is caller ship which gradually shifts through up to seven selected colors then lastly you have rainbow which is the default setting out of the box and this cycle through all the colors on the spectrum over time you also have the option to change the speed of the colors and also group and ungroup modules and delayed timings on the caller shifts between different modules all this is done via the course they're linked software which I found extremely straightforward and easy to use it also works really well and I didn't personally find there were any delays fortunately as I heard bit wit for example had some trouble with this so now on to overclocking this stuff and there were two different tests I ran here first was finding the maximum over club which on four sticks and tandem unfortunately was only an extra 66 megahertz to make a total speed of 3056 megahertz over 16 17 1736 to timings when comparing this to the out-of-the-box 3000 megahertz that compete profiles this was a very minor overclock and honestly I would rather just stick to the XMP profiles but what about the tightest timings overclock that I could get well things did get a bit better here with a speed of 2666 megahertz at 14 15 15 30 for one team timings though when running a quick 720p Far Cry primal CPU intense benchmark with XMP timings first the tightest timings on this memory it resulted in virtually the same results except for the 2666 tight timing coming out slightly behind in both minimum and average frame rates though slightly ahead in maximum so there it is the XMP profiles is pretty much what you'll want to stick to if you get this memory or at least for the loan sample received here today it was the software build quality and also RGB lighting was very nice to work with and this type of memory will suit someone who is looking for more RGB and more cosmetics on their pc though coming in at roughly three hundred twenty USD for a 32 gigabyte for stick it and one hundred and sixty dollars for a 16 gigabyte dual-stick kit it is of course more expensive than either OEM or single color statically let ddr4 memory however the good thing is is that you can port it over from bill to build if you are changing color schemes in your future rig for example also some last minute things before I get on out of here the pricing and availability in Australia I will update the description when I have more information about that as it's currently unavailable in Australia also if you have an AMD am-4 platform the XMP profiles won't unfortunately work so that's like as X 370 motherboard all those of course the memory will boot on those platforms it's just that the XMP profiles are only compatible currently with Z 173 270 and x 99 motherboard now guys I hope you enjoyed this video on the course there are gb memory and if you did them sure to hit that like button and if you dislike this and be sure to hit that dislike button and let me know in the comment section below what would you do for a stick of course they are gb memory love reading your comments as always and i'll catch you in another text video very soon peace out for now bay
