I bought one of the Corsiar XMS memory coolers from newegg, it's for their Dominator series of DDR2. I have to say I am amazed at the difference. This thing is worth every penny of $25. My example:
My G.Skill DDR2 800 OC'd to 960, 2.25v, 4-4-4-12, Stock Heatsinks
Idle- ~40c Load- ~53c
After XMS cooler installed:
Idle- ~30c Load- ~35c
All I have to say is WOW! I thought I'd share with those of you out there with spendy memory, and OC-ers, as this is a very good investment. Keep in mind this thing is big enough to cover 4 memory slots, has 3 40mm fans that move a lot of air for their size and are unexpectedly quiet, and clips over the memory lock tabs very easily and stays there. How I got my temp readings: My Aspire X-Cruiser case has a temp diode, I stuck it in between my DDR stick and Heatsink. Ran many Orthos (CPU and Mem Max Test) and memory tests. Right now my memory is sitting at 30c and isn't budging. If ya have expensive memory, or even cheap memory, keep it cool and living longer with this cheap cooling solution, I am so happy I got it.
