New Corsair Ram cooler on sale - CMXAF2

[Nickel020]

The fans are 20mm actually. I should get the Yates tomorrow hopefully, will give you guys an update on what they sound like then.

[Ender17]

do you really need a cooler for DDR3 at 1.65v?

[RealTelstar]

At least the giant blue sticker from the first version didn't make its way onto the top of this one.

Will it fit well on 4 sticks of g.skill PI?
My handmade 2x80mm fans cooler is not very stable tied to the TRUE *fan*.

I'd like to see a performance test. Now my ram is super cool (around 30°C).

[Battle_Rattle]

Looks better naked.... sans decals

[Ender17]

looks nice, but again, and not trying to threadcrap, but I was under the impression DDR3 ran pretty cool especially since you're limited to 1.65v on x58

[geoffsthaboss]

finally available on line... for $35

no thanks after all..

[autobot]

Would one of these units fit over a set of Patriot Viper series memory??? The heatsink on the Vipers are a bit tall.

[LedHed]

I'm still trying to figure out if they will fit over OCZ Reaper DDR2 1066 sticks, like these:

Would like to know this also, I got my dominators at 1.575 its don't even really feel warm at all. Wonder what the difference in temps are with and without the fans.

The fans on this cooler are 60x60x25, 60x60x20? Anyone knows?

[Captain_Harlock]

They are 60x60x10 mm. Not a lot of replacement options, but the egg has a few.

Off topic but no heatsinks on the VRM's of your gpu? Crazy much

These are 60x60x10?!

[Captain_Harlock]

Woops got it mixed up with the OCZ XTC Rev 2, my bad.

[Ar3s]

these look 60x60x20mm.

Had one of those, the fans are great (real quiet) but the mounting is just dreadful.

these look 60x60x20mm.

If that's true, I'm going to replace the original Corsair fans with two Scythe Mini Kaze 60mm. They seem to be the best 60x60x20 fans when it comes to noise levels.

[JOCKTHEGLIDE]

Hopefully the fans/bearings are better than the old version... mine have failed after 3 months... RMA time!

mind were loud after about a month...probably because I didnt clean it hope its alsoa better clamp system than before?

[R31Nismoid]

Ye, a few others had issues as well i know... must have been poor quality fans

But mine was clean, never dusty!

The old clamps were ok i thought? I didnt have any issues.

[Ar3s]

i had the same issue too, brand new out of the box already it was noisier than everything i had in my rig.
Sold it off already.

@RSC great choice.

[OverShocked]

Any idea on how much air they push to? Wondering which fans to get for my ram.

[RSC]

Well, just replaced the stock fans with Scythe Mini Kaze 60mm fans and it works flawlessly. Not only are the Scythe fans 100% compatible with the cooler's frame, they are also almost silent.

[Nickel020]

Completely forgot to reply back then...the Yate Loons I got were awful (lots of bearing noise like the stock fan), so they're not worth getting.

The Arctic Cooling RAM fan is very good noise-wise, but the mounting isn't great when you're not using AC heatspreaders (it does work though).

[scook9]

If you get this cooler you will want to replace the fans in it. They do run pretty loud, were the loudest thing in my case with 5 Scythe S-Flex G's and a ThermalTake Extreme Spirit II all going. And 2 EVGA GTX 275's

All that, and this RAM cooler was by far the loudest and highest pitch. And it definitely looks better without the stickers, I took mine off too
