Thermaltake Launches V1R RAM Cooler

[Jimmy 2004]

With the increased demands from the PC Enthusiasts and the increased RAM frequency, the thermal management issues of DDR Ram have become more and more important. After the successful introduction of the memory cooler, Spirit RX, at the beginning of 2007, Thermaltake is now launching another new RAM cooler - V1R.


V1R RAM cooler extended the astounding Dual-V architecture of the well-liked V1 CPU cooler; the V shaped copper fins are combined with the copper heatpipe to achieve maximum heat transfer from the memory module. At the same time, great features of Spirit RS have also been remained; like the patent heatpipe thermal module, aluminum extruded heat spreader that increased the heat dissipation surface, and the adjustable heatpipe thermal module to avoid structural interference for maximized mechanical fitting compatibility.

V1R memory cooler is for the application of both DDR and DDR2 RAM. Two sets of thermal pads of different thicknesses are included for the application on both the single-sided and double-sided memory modules.

Thermaltake continues to lead the global heat sink market with better product performance, quality and stylish design. The new V1R RAM Cooler is not only the best choice for memory module thermal management, but will also be an extra aesthetic touch of personal style on your system!

This is really nice and I mean it. But there is one slight problem, how many high quality ram is still being sold naked? There are a lot of ram stick sold what come with it's own HS. I can only assume some can come off of the ram but the ones that I've come across have a clip on the HS and are epoxied on the ICs.

Couldn't you just clamp it onto existing heat spreaders just as easily?

Seriously, though -- this is starting to get ridiculous. How long before we have heatpipes for our heatpipes?

That thing looks crazy (but a bit extreme if you ask me!)

Very nice looking,my reapers already have heatpipes on tho'.

It is very hard to get the spreaders off some sticks of ram.

The best standard heat dissipater by far for RAM at the present time is the Heatsinks on the Dominator series (as far as I know). However I would like to see these things in action.

This is getting pretty damn ridiculous, does DDR2 and DDR3 ram really get hot enough to need this?

I think you will find that the OCZ Reaper is actually better

It's probably more of a OOOOOH LOOK SHINY KOOPOR... thing. Probably doesn't do much to help temps.

These will go great with Thermaltake's VF-1 CPU cooler

Too bad most companies void warranty if you remove stock heatspreaders.. and most of the RAM without heatspreaders aren't that good.

Should help lower temps a pretty good bit. Corsairs dominator is nice, but OCZ reapers has a bit better thermal management on it. Id get these coolers for their prettiness and adjustable cooling height. Also, that V1 Fan cooler is top notch.

I was wondering the same thing myself.

This looks a little to overdone to me, looks like your could set fire to it and not heat up. lol
