GeIL EVO Cyclone memory cooling system shows temperature, fan RPM

GeIL Memory released a new memory cooling solution that shows the real-time temperature and fan RPM on the fan blades, similar to the ThermalTake BlueOrb FX processor cooler I reviewed more than a year ago. The GeIL EVO Cyclone LED logo fan will display "GeIL" / "EVO Cyclone" in one cycle and then automatically switch to "Temperature / RPM" in the next cycle.

GeIL says the EVO Cyclone has a height-adjustable clip design to fit memory module heatsinks of all sizes. The cooler has a small 3400RPM 50mm fan, which moves 4.04CFM of air at a noise level of 21dBA.

The product folder claims the Cyclone reduced the RAM IC surface temperature from 48.5°C to 36°C in one of GeIL's tests, while cooling the heatspreader temperature from 44.9°C to 33°C. The ambient temperature at the time of this test was 27°C.
