- Here we are at the G.SKILL booth at Computex 2019. And right behind me they've got some new memory, that's ready to go for the new AMD chipsets, that's the x570 and Ryzen 3000 CPUs. So what this means is you can expect eight XMP profiles ready for those new CPUs out of the gate, plus a new updated Assetic. Now what they're doing for this Assetic, is making it two tone, you've got steel on the left and on the right. However, they make it two different colors, as well as making putting ARGB LEDs across the top. So, that means they're going to shine brighter than ever, and they're going to use a little less power compared to the ever popular TridentZ, which was pretty much a staple across RGB memory. It set the president and it was pretty much, I believe to this day one, of the most popular selling RGB memory modules. Now in terms of release dates, you can expect it to try and get released to market by that July 7th date for the Ryzen 3000 series, but also on top of that the pricing and the actual exact specs of the profiles coming out, still yet to be determined. G.SKILL is doing a lot of in house testing with the five different motherboard manufacturers to get the best clock speeds and ensure that they are getting the best product out to market. But speaking of the best product out to market, besides this memory we're going to look at some of their hardcore overclocks that they've managed to get here on air, where as opposed to last year, we looked at some of the overclocks and they were only done on LN2 and also water. So this is pretty impressive stuff with overclocking and it does show you how much pride G.SKILL take in their memory. (upbeat music) So now for extreme overclocking, they've got three sets of memory here running over five gigahertz at low latencies, and the funny thing is this is done on air. But behind that is something even more special and that's a four gigahertz overclock, over 384 gigabytes of DDR4 memory, this is the 28 core Zeon and they've managed to get this much memory going at four gigahertz. Now they have used the Ripjaw stuff, with no RGB lighting, but another thing is with the timing, is it going CL18 but the next step is 30 and the next step after that is 30, then 45. I've never seen this sort of combination of timings, but I believe that G.SKILL know what they are doing when it comes to tuning this memory and trying to get it to that 4 gigahertz mark they have to drop some of the sub timings so it was interesting to see that those sub timings were being dropped to, then not stress the IMC on that 28 core monster, as much it should have been stressed if the timings were lower and obviously, you wouldn't have got the four gigahertz overclock. But around the corner there's also the AMD side of things. So we're going to take a look at what overclocks they managed to get with the Ryzen 2000 series. And supposedly the overclocks on the memory are meant to be even better on the latest 7 nanometer. So we'll take a look what they got there and then see if that's an indication of what you can expect on those juicy Ryzen 3000 series chips. Now moving onto this side with the AMD things, they've got a four gigahertz overclock on display. Now in house they have gone higher, but this is essentially a binning process. What they're showing you here at the G.SKILL booth, is how they bin their products, and what they're obtaining, when they ship these kits out to go. So what we've got here the best case scenario, for an AXMP and that's 4000 megahertz, 18, 22, 22, 42. This was done on a Ryzen 2700x and a ROG Crosshair VII Hero. So they're telling me back in the studio, they have a heap of more sets that will do these speeds, and so then that's how you see your XMP profiles when they're shipped to market. So now actually stepping things down in the speeds, they're actually stepping things up in the voltage. So this is 1.4v as the previous overclock had 1.35v but there was a difference in the CL of 14 vs 18 and then some of the other sub timings were even tighter on this kit with 14, 14, 14, 34 across the board. So this is pretty much as aggressive as it gets, in terms of a possible XMP profile. But do keep in mind when you start going over those ratings, with the CPUS not every overclock is guaranteed, since you then are still relying on the IMC on the CPU itself. So again with XMP profiles, nothing is ever guaranteed outside the actual spec of the CPU. But with the Ryzen 3000 series of CPUs we can expect guaranteed overclocks of 3200 megahertz as AMD have laid out in the new specifications. Now usually with Computex if products aren't worth featuring and they're just simply boring I don't feature them but in this case this professional keyboard really caught my eye due to it's price tag, Cherry MX switches and it's coming in at 50 bucks and it was actually really good build quality. But I'm joined by Mark who's going to tell you a little bit more about this keyboard, what makes it special for that $50 price tag. - [Mark] So this keyboard is called the KM360, and it's a Tank Helios keyboard, featuring Cherry MX red switches as well as a Cherry MX black for the space bar. And it has detachable USB type C cables, for affordability as well as the Tank Helios for the professionals on the go. And it has the key caps and double injection molded key caps in ABS plastic so it's very very durable. The key cap lettering does not fade away as with printed or lasered on key caps. So look forward to this keyboard at $50 retail. - And also I did manage to test out the rigidity on the keys and they feel really good too so I'm actually looking forward to this keyboard combination with the black on the space bar and reds on the normal switches themselves. But in terms of the back lighting, it's white LED only. So they've gone away with RGB to reduce the cost and save any software that you'd need to install. But you can still change the brightness on the hardware level on the keyboard itself. In terms of a release date it is TBD, but it is hoping to be out before the end of this year. Now the last of this lineup of professional products is the MD550 mouse. Now this is wireless and you're probably thinking, okay, what's so special about it. The actual sensor onboard is made to work with transparent and semi transparent surfaces, which makes it great for business. So just like that keyboard we saw before, they're going with a more professional approach. Which is pretty interesting considering you're going with RGB and fancy stuff that gamers would want on the RAM but what's the shift here with this mouse and what sort of other additional features does it have? - [Mark] Well in terms of market, we want to expand on our market. And we've realized that RGB, the latest RGB fad is actually ignoring and neglecting the business users. And we understand that the business user is also one of our focus's as well in performance. So in terms of this wireless mouse, it's duel mode so it connects via Bluetooth 4.0 as well as radio frequency 2.4 gigahertz over a wireless dongle that you can put into the mouse, there's a slot underneath the battery cap. - Now in order to do this tracking it features the Pixart PAW3805 sensor so this is made for these transparent surfaces. So in terms of a release date, when can we expect it to be released. - No release date, TBD. - Alright, so it's still to be determined. But they are aiming for a price point of $30 which is very fair considering it can do all this and the build quality is pretty good. In terms of powering it, it's powered by two triple A batteries. And what's the length of those batteries in terms of usage? And how much can you expect to get out of two triple A batteries? - So ideally if you're using it for about eight hours a day, you can expect 6 months of battery life out of that. - Incredible that's what we want to hear as a business user and someone who just doesn't want to have the hassle of changing batteries all the time. Anyway Mark, thank you for your time. And that about wraps it up here for the G.SKILL booth at Computex 2019. If you guys are enjoying this content then be sure to hit that like button. Also let us know in the comment section below what was your favorite product or information here on display, at this booth here today. And They also need some feedback, G.SKILL need some feedback, on the colors of the NEO, they've currently considering red, blue, silver, black, gold and they've gotta nail it down to three color choices. So you guys in the audience let us know your favorite color combinations are in that memory and maybe G.SKILL can make that happen pretty quickly. Anyway with that aside, I hope you guys enjoyed this one!

Peace out for now. - Thank you for watching. - It's peace out for now, bye. - Oh, it's peace out for now, bye. (jazzy music)
