Go to solution Solved by arnavvr,

Why would I? My PC isn't on my desk and my pc is windowed and it looks really nice. It's like a nice blend of flashy and professional. I crave that ram. haha

What RAM does linus use in his personal build? The one he upgraded in 2014? (I know I could probably go find the video and watch through it but I'm on 4g right now and that uses too much data. Also I'm lazy)

 

Anyways, I really liked the flashy leds on them and was considering getting 16gb of it because why not.

Wishing leads to ambition and ambition leads to motivation and motivation leads to me building an illegal rocket ship in my backyard.

I have the Ballistic Tactical set and I've got the same experience.

 

Well, until I munched up my mother board and now both the Ballistics and Dom. Plats run at 656mhz :|
