GeIL Launches Actively Cooled DDR5 Memory with Dual RGB Fans

Just not the kind of fans that Geil went for, as they're going to start making loud screeching noises after three months.

Good bearings for such small and fast fans are crazy expensive. Doubt they spent that much.

Anybody else notice the airflow in the middle image is all over the place? One fan rotates clockwise but the air comes out CCW. LOL Also this is a horrible idea.

"Blower"/radial fans actually work both ways, as they take in air from the front/back and kick it out sideways, where there should then be ducting directing airflow. Whether the fins are swept with or against the direction of rotation is a tradeoff of pressure, noise and airflow.

That's what happens when you have a design team that doesn't understand the product.

I think that the mere idea of wind will push more CFM than these tiny 10mm fans.

Are you saying that you fart in the general direction of your RAM to cool it?

Look, I'm no engineer, it's the best I can muster...

When was the last time we needed active RAM cooling?

You must not overclock RAM past XMP.

With me at least it's simple - I save time and energy by buying the fastest kit possible. This way I gain all the MT/s with a flip of a switch, it's stable and I save ton of time for troubleshooting.

My OCD (OverClocking Days) ended with the Athlon era. I've tried this and that during the years but mostly for the lulz.

Oh I generally don't OC my daily setup, I have a bench system for that.

For me computers were a hobby, a passion, a teacher, an enterntainment. Now, they are mostly tools. A means to an end, if you wish.

I have zero time and zero need to OC. Oh, how a man changes!

I figured someone would add a fan. DDR5 starts to need a fan once you crank the voltage and or higher frequencies.

Also, doesn't the airflow path here strongly imply that there isn't contact between the PMIC and heatsink? If there was, there wouldn't be a path for air to pass over it after all.

That reminds me of this beauty, Macbook Air 2020, if you're asking where's the heat pipe that connects the heatsink to the fan, you're using it wrong

Ah, classic!

Did they deliberately not say how noisy the fans are?

ThrashZone · May 19, 2022

Hi,
I have m.2 coolers with little blower style fans like this
They actually work pretty good.
Cooling a m.2 and cooling memory are a tad different though but is pretty :cool:

If someone told me we'd need active cooling for our harddrives 10 years ago I'd probably laugh.

That's how PR works. Usually.

I am quite amazed (and amused, too) how many marketing guys have no clue what the product does and how it does it. It's especially funny in tech business.

Two small fans per RAM chip?

My god, imagine running 4 sticks of this from a kit when one fan fails or starts to get noisy...
