With the ever increasing speeds and voltages that today’s memory modules are achieving and their ability to overclock, even with stock heatsinks, it is becoming very hard to keep their temperatures low enough to run stable if you choose to overclock your system. It seems that the days of passive cooling are behind us and if we want to be able to utilize the memory to its full potential, we will need an active cooling solution in order to keep the module temperatures down. One solution is a RAM cooler, which is usually an all-in one unit that clips over the modules then cools them with the a high RPM/ CFM fan that is attached to the cooler. Cool IT Systems manufactures such a unit and they have named it the RAM Fan.
