CoolIT SYSTEMS RAM FAN

Pros: A nifty little device! Slips right onto the RAM sticks and keeps things nice and cool. No hardware required and installation is done in seconds. Its size isn't that big either. If you have a spiders nest of wires dangling about you may have problems. Its a good thick piece of aluminum that's flexible but not weak enough to bend easily - just enough to get it over the RAM sticks.

Cons: The two blue LEDs on the fan motor are incredibly bright - blinding in fact. They are stationary and the way my computer sits on my desk I have to be careful where I look 'less I want to see spots! There's not too much I can do but put electrical tape over them but then it would look weird so I'll just put up with it for now. Also, the fan is kind of stuck to the aluminum (so it appears) so replacements if needed won't be as easy as screwing something off and on unless four holes are drilled into the plate.

Overall Review: It would be better if the LEDs were under the fins of the fan or if they moved to give it more of a special effect. I still give it a 5/5 because it does do what its supposed to do and it does it well. If you don't have to look into your case as you work/play then this will do the trick very well ;-).

Pros: A snap to install. Accompanied with proper air cooling, this not only cooled my RAM, but helped bring temperatures on my motherboard down (not a lot, but when overclocking, every bit helps!). Firm, solid construction.

Cons: It doesn't come in black.

Overall Review: Best $20 you'll ever spend.

Pros: Lowered my CPU temp a little since it's blowing towards it. Given the tests I saw online, it's got to be cooling my RAM significantly. I don't have a laser temperature sensor so I can't say for sure.

Cons: This thing attaches to your RAM by squeezing on the sides of your RAM sticks. When I installed it, I put one side on and tried to bend out the other side as I slid it over the other side of my sticks. Despite that, there was an unpleasant grinding sound as the metal slid along the sides of the RAM. Unpleasant, but not ultimately harmful.

Overall Review: I fit this in a Enermax Chakra case with 4 Patriot DIMMs next to an Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro heatsink and above an eVGA 8800GTS 640 video card. All of this on an eVGA 780i mobo. Make sure that you have enough clearance between your video card and your RAM DIMMs as any contact between the bottom of your video card and this cooler will cause your video card to short out. Not a big worry; just check out my mother board and yours and if there is a significant difference in the spacing of the top PCI-x slot and the RAM slots, you may be in the danger zone with large video cards. I dealt with the fan noise and bright LEDs by using a rheostat fan controller. On low, fan isn't audible over other fans and the LEDs aren't blinding.

Pros: It looks good in my case, 2 blue led lights,It clips solidly onto the pcb edges of the ram, works great for cooling my 4 sticks of ram, its angled and positioned in such a way on the mobo that its also cooling my passive north bridge heat sink on my asus maximus formula mobo. It moves some good air. Its not overly too loud, but you can hear it. Definitly worth it to extend the life of your ram

Cons: It could have come with a 3 pin fan connector to control it, but no biggy. a little pricey

Overall Review: could possibly be a tough install with some mobo's layouts because the lower ram clips are covered by large video cards. no problem with mine though

Pros: I love this little gadget. Keeps my ram frosty (and even keeps my processor a little bit cooler given the proximity of the ram to the CPU) and the blue lights are soothing

Cons: hmm, for some reason the sides are angled. Haven't figured out the purpose of this, not a big deal however, fits the ram just fine. Running 2x512MB Pc2700 modules.

Overall Review: I don't overclock, but I imagine someone who is into that sort of thing could get a real kick out of this product

Pros: I have 4GB DDR2 installed and it brought my case temp down about 2 degrees.

Cons: Had to readjust all my power cables coming out of my Power Supply.

Overall Review: Make sure your not wasting your money buying this fan. Two things, one dont waste money unless you have 4 SIMMS installed, and 2 make sure you can readjust your power supply cables so you have room overtop your RAM.

Pros: I have a pretty nice collection of these, as I bet I bought every type made! This one is probably the best and is in my system now. The aluminum is solid and works best with 4 dimm slots filled.

Cons: The fan is only a two wire, and I have had problems with it working with any fan speed controller. I put a better fan on this and now it is great.

Overall Review: They should upgrade the fan to a better one, and they could really go far with this product.

Pros: Running this for a year now and going strong still. If you like having fancy lights then you will love this .. the light is nice and bright.

Cons: I keep my computer case off so the light is a little too bright for me.

Overall Review: I have this blowing on 4 sticks of ram in a dusty envoronment and the fan doesn't seem to pick up a lot of the dust like some of the other fans I have in my system
