It's a vital part of every PC build, but memory should know its place. A vexier had the audacity to send over this raid in the series kit of DDR4 memory, and it's left me flustered quite frankly with its flashy plasma lighting and brazenly provocative design. As tempted as I may be, it is simply stare at these delectable bims for hours on end and transd by their ethereal will. No, no, I will resist because I made this channel bring you guys the truth. So here are 4 reasons why you should definitely not buy fancy memory like a vexier's raid in series. Reason number 1 is fancy packaging. Fancy packaging is useless, despite the clean design and appealing minimalism of the raid in retail box. The fact is that it could be delivered in a brown paper bag, as long as ESD shielding was present of course, and the kit would work just the same. Some might argue that the presentation, such as this, hints at the quality of the product within, others might find that the slow and meticulous undressing of their new RAM is just a tantalizingly sensual affair. It's kind of exciting to have your fingers gently caress each subtle curve and crevice of each module. I'm definitely not impressed though, that's the point. Okay, I might have taken a picture and posted it on my Instagram and said I was impressed when I first got the box, but that was temporary, and I'm not anymore. Reason number 2 is size. Size matters, or so I'm told, RAM height should be as short and showed like as possible to allow for disgustingly huge air coolers for the real star of the show, the CPU. Anything more is just gratuitous, so looking at these raid modules with their enormous size, truly generous proportions, indulgently tall you might say, erect sticks that just seem to stand there like, hey, what do you think of all this? It just kind of makes you wonder if you even feel even fit. It's never stopped me from trying though. Where was that? Speed, yes of course, ludicrous speed. Extra RAM speed is pointless. Sure you might get a millisecond or two faster response time or a half a percentage point better score in your favorite system benchmark, but sensible PC builders know that the minimum speed, 2133 for DDR4, is perfectly adequate. Going beyond that is silly, and not even really officially sanctioned by Intel. In this kit, DDR4 3000 with C16 timings, I mean, sure you could brag to your friends about your tight timings and how your memory works day and night like some kind of machine, just relentlessly pumping as much data as possible with every clock cycle, probably barely even breaking a sweat. So maybe your friends would be just a little jealous, but jealous, he's bad, so case closed. And number four of course is that plasma lighting. I mean, seriously, ever since this RGB lighting craze exploded, it seems like every manufacturer wants to shove some LED festooned monstrosity down our throats. And sure the radens may have plasma lighting, which is not LED, it is fairly unique in the PC landscape. And though I may have been choked with the staget when I first powered them on, and maybe with the slightest touch of my finger, I was eight years old again, gazing in childlike wonder at a mysterious glowing plasma ore but the Discovery Science Center. So no, I felt no real connection or need to have this be part of my life. I mean, it wants to feel the simple and innocent joy of childhood warming a callus and I see heart long throbbing capable of love. Sorry, it might not be. So with my four points crew, and I think the best thing will be for me to keep this DDR4 kit out of the hands of anyone who might be misled by its flashy allure. You know, it's already installed in the test bed. I could probably just leave it there. That's all for this video though, guys. I tried to have it a little fun with it, so your feedback as always is much appreciated. Let me know if you enjoyed by hitting that like button or leaving me a comment.
