Worth Every Penny
- Pros: Out of the box to installed in the system: 3 minutes, tops. Quiet, especially when combined with a fan speed controller (or controlled through BIOS fan controls). Clearance for almost any memory, DOES NOT have to be used with Corsair Dominator series only, can be used with any memory stick that complies with "standard" height and size.
- Cons: I guess if you had a couple of gorillas moving your PC around for you (being rough with it) the cooler could work its way off. The cool "mounts" to the memory retention clips of your motherboard via compression/friction only. If you wanted to make this more secure I suppose you could apply some nonskid rubber strips to the cooler finger clips. Personally, my setup works just fine as is.
The cooler does stand a bit tall, if you are using a low profile format custom case this probably won't fit, measure first, buy next.
- Other Thoughts: Does sit close to my Zalman 9500 but doesn't touch (on an ASUS P5N32 SLI Plus). On the same board an eVGA 8800GTS installed in the first PCI-E 16x slot comes very close, but does not touch, the memory cooler.
Airflow for your memory
- Pros: If you're looking to cool your oc'd ram, then this is a nice-looking workable option. The CMXAF1 comes with a 3 pin connector for easy monitoring from your mobo or an aftermarket monitoring device. It sounds relatively quiet, considering the fans are smaller, higher rpm than some others in my system.
- Cons: Now for the bad news...the clipping system seems an afterthought. These fans are basically relying on your memory clips to stay on--in other words, they aren't very secure. The fan assembly easily slides left to right on the ram clips. The screws used to tighten the fan assembly onto the ram clips leave a lot to be desired...I tried adjusting the thumbscrews several times, but had little success in securing the fan. So if you plan on transporting your PC, it's a safe bet to just leave off the fan until you reach your destination. Also, I couldn't say if the fan helped cool my ram a great deal since I am not oc'ing too high.
- Other Thoughts: My install includes a Aw9d-max, Rosewill Z3 cpu cooler, 2x1gb Dominator pc28500 and a bfg 7950gt video card. The CMXAF1 fans seemed to fit snugly amongst these components, didn't have to remove anything to get this mounted. It seems likely that these Dominator fans can cool non-Dominator ram as well, as long as the heatsinks don't exceed the height of the Dominator heatsinks.
