RAM Coolers – Effective Cooling for Your Memory Modules
RAM Coolers
Memory generally does not get particularly warm, as most users adhere to the manufacturer's specified voltages and have established reasonable airflow within their cases to prevent heat buildup. However, several factors can cause DDR3 DIMMs or DDR4 modules to become significantly hotter than just warm to the touch – this is neither pleasant for surrounding components nor beneficial for the longevity of the RAM itself.
Memory Cooling for Overclockers
Die-hard overclockers often apply much higher voltage to the flash cells of the memory, which automatically leads to an increase in temperature. Additionally, if RAM is operated close to its performance limits within specified parameters, summer brings record heat, and all RAM banks are tightly packed with modules, they can heat up significantly. RAM coolers, which are typically clipped on top of the memory bank and contain one or two small fans to blow fresh air onto the modules, can help alleviate this issue.
