**A Brief History of High-Speed Memory Prices**

High-speed memory prices have changed significantly since our last unboxing video. DDR3 2133 and 2400 MHz kits are now much more accessible, and we've started receiving requests from viewers to use higher speed memory in our testing. However, it's been a challenge for us to find suitable kits that meet our standards. We've reached out to G.Skill about getting eight sticks of their DDR3 2400 MHz RAM, which is one of the few companies that can provide us with high-quality, hand-validated modules.

**The Luxurious Packaging**

One of the most notable features of this kit is its luxurious packaging. The outer box has gold lettering and includes individual serial numbers for each stick of RAM. When we opened it up, we found two individual boxes, each containing a little clip-on memory fan that uses two 50mm fans to keep your RAM cool. In the past, we've expressed our skepticism about these fans, finding them bulkier than necessary. However, they have been shown to improve Ram stability when pushed to high speeds or overclocked.

**Individual Sticks and Foam Wrapping**

Each stick of RAM is individually wrapped in protective foam wrapping, which adds an extra layer of protection against damage during shipping. Once we removed the sticks from their packaging, we were left with familiar-looking modules, complete with saw-tooth styled top heat sinks. While they may not be the most eye-catching memory kits on the market, their practical design makes them a great choice for enthusiasts and overclockers.

**Memory Features and Specifications**

The RAM kit supports two different 2400 MHz XMP profiles or can be set up manually. We plan to use it in our upcoming Mac Pro killer Hackintosh guide, which will feature an ASUS X79 Delux motherboard. While we weren't able to run 2400 MHz with all eight modules simultaneously, we were able to achieve stability at lower speeds without any issues.

**Testing Procedures and Experience**

We told G.Skill that we wouldn't be showcasing this RAM kit in our usual memory showcases, but instead would only use it in our Hackintosh guide and on our test benches. We've had the opportunity to try out various products behind the scenes, and it's always interesting to see how they perform in different configurations.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwith its Factory tuning and data center DNA an Intel 730 series SSD is an amazing choice for gamers and performance enthusiasts so the last time I covered anything from gskill was back in December 2012 when they sent their rip jaw Z quad Channel kit over to me for some Ram disc testing at the time I did a very casual unboxing in a chair in my living room with my son and my cat in my lap uh accompanying me and I didn't really make much of a fuss about the product cuz to me I was just like it's R this time I feel like I owe them a bit more Fanfare because that 32 gig kit or those 32 G kits they sent two of them of 1866 Ram has been some of the most Rock Solid memory either slick or I have ever encountered compared to other high capacity kits that we have around the office it is a dream to work with and we use it on every test bench mainstream Intel Enthusiast Intel and even AMD the problem is that the stuff we have is from back when 1866 Ram was the bees knes it's a year and a half old skew and with the way high-speed memory prices have changed since then DDR3 2133 and 2400 MHz kits are much more accessible and we're starting to get a lot of requests from viewers to use higher speed memory in our testing it's just that we hate using all the other stuff so I reached out to gskill about getting eight sticks of their DDR3 2400 MHz Ram I chose their 64 gig kit because the way that sticks get jumbled around between test benches it's the only way that we'll really know that each of them is hand validated to operate correctly with each other across all the benches and as an extra bonus we happen to have an x79 Deluxe assus board which is one of the only boards that this kit is validated to work in with all eight dims at the same time running at 2400 MHz so that'll be fun if we ever want to play around with it anyway with that history lesson out of the way let's get into the product itself this is one of the most luxuriously packaged kits I have ever seen the outer box has gold lettering and the individual serial numbers of every single stick inside and when you open it up you get two individual boxes Each of which you open up to find a little clipon memory fan that uses two 50 mm fans to keep your RAM cool in the past I used to say that these Ram coolers were kind of stupid and I still don't care for the added bulk of them in our test system here they made it impossible to install a graphics card in the top slot but I've seen them make a difference to Ram stability so if you're going to push these sticks to 2400 MHz or even overvolt them past the rated 1.65 volts I would recommend installing them one bit of constructive criticism for gskill is I'd like to see them terminated in three pin connectors so I can easily hook them up to a fan controller anyway after that each stick is individually wrapped in a protective foam wrapping and if you've ever seen a rip jaw Z module then once we get it out of the foam they'll look pretty familiar to you uh we use them all the time so the saw teeth styled top of the heat sink doesn't stand out to me much anymore and I think there are more eye-catching memory kits out there like with you know LED lighting and stuff but for these it was more about the practicality of them than necessarily the pure looks the ram supports two different 2400 MHz XMP profiles or you can set things up manually I'm planning on using them in a gigabyte x79 up4 motherboard for my upcoming Mac Pro killer Hackintosh guide so I went ahead and installed the kits in there and while I wasn't able to run 2400 MHz with all eight modules in which G skill told me I wasn't going to be able to do 2133 MHz was easy so even just in any random board these are definitely an improvement over our old gold sticks and I did run around and throw them in a couple different boards around the office and I'm getting that same easy no tweaks required for basic stability operation that I have come to expect which is a huge relief so now we can bring you guys higher memory speeds in our benchmarks I told gskill that we don't really do memory showcases anymore and that I was only going to use the memory in our Hackintosh guide as well as on our test benches so they'll probably be a bit surprised to see this but given how little I talk about the gear that we use behind the scenes here I thought that this was an opportunity to not only showcase this particular Ram kit but also give you some insight into our testing procedures and our experience with all the different products that we get to touch as well I hope you guys enjoyed it um so I think that's pretty much it guys like this video if you liked it dislike it if you disliked it leave a comment if you have anything to say to me or the rest of the team about this video if you thought it was fantastic or you thought it was just terrible I guess you could also just thumbs up or thumbs down but but if you did like it please do go ahead and support us we have a support us Link in the video description you can give us a monthly contribution you can buy a t-shirt we have some cool t-shirts now and you can even just change your
