G.Skill and Enermax Partner with Splave for Memory and PSUs Built to His Specs

You've seen Splave on top of overclocking leaderboards, get ready to see him on PC hardware store shelves. The professional overclocker now has a line of high-end PC memory kits and power supplies in partnership with G.Skill and Enermax. The new Enermax Revolution DFX Pro 1350 W Splave Edition (the show demo was a different model as proof of concept) has a few features custom designed by him. The first one is a button that flushes all capacitors to make sure there's no residual power left in it when the AC input is switched off. Overclockers tend to need this between resets, and even waste a few seconds waiting on their PSUs to drain, or getting their motherboards to do that job (not recommended). The PSU has individually sleeved cables that are designed to not get in the way, and make them easier to manage; and the fan is configured to turn backwards for 20 seconds, blowing air out, each time the PSU is sent an ACPI shutdown command.
Next up, is the new Splave Ultra line of DDR5 PC overclocking memory by G.Skill. These kits appear to be based on the Trident Z5 CK series and the Trident Z5 Neo series. The kit shown at CES was just for representative purposes. The ones based on the Trident Z5 CK series will target Intel platforms, and the ones based on the Z5 Neo will come with EXPO profiles and will be meant for AMD platforms. Splave's secret sauce for these modules will be in the XMP or EXPO profiles they ship with. Just to give you some idea, imagine DDR5-6000 with CAS latency of 28, out of the box.
Lastly, there's the Splave T-1K, a first-party line of high-performance gallium-based thermal paste. To be clear, this isn't a liquid metal TIM (although gallium is one), rather it is a silicone-based thermal grease that's blended with gallium metal, and so it spreads and compresses just like regular thermal paste, and won't run off. Although it has metal particles, much like pastes based on silver, the T-1K is electrically non-conductive.

Are these new product lines or just one-off, special edition type things?

Those mentioned PSU features should be standardized.

I'm sure the timings, and more importantly subtimings, will probably be optimized, but I'm a little disappointed there wasn't a new heatsink design. Team Group's non-RGB XTREEM modules have a really good heatsink and are only about 5mm taller than these. There's plenty of room on these modules already to improve the heatsinks and add surface area.

Yes - In fact he's top-dog at the bot and has been for some time.
I know him well enough to say he's the real deal guys - No doubt about it.

And you'd be suprised how humble he is, Allen is a class act all the way.
