Two new designs based on copper and aluminum

Ever wanted to squeeze just a little bit more performance from your computer but could not as the memory sub-system was just too unstable at high frequencies or voltages? Well, if this is the case, the new Scythe made cooler solutions for random access memory modules are just the thing for you.

The cooling solutions manufacturing company Scythe just expanded its memory cooling line of products with two brand new Kama Wing coolers that are available in ''Black'' and ''Copper'' versions and they are of course based on the very successful and original Kama Wing design. Both the Black and the Copper models are compatible with just about any in-use memory module and they can be used to cool even long forgotten memory modules like SDRAM and DDRAM.

Apart from the fact that the two new Scythe Kama Wing memory cooling solutions are compatible with DDR, DDR2 and DDR3 memory modules they are compatible with both single-sided and double-sided modules too. The first of these new series is the Black model, which is made from pure aluminum and electroplated in black color, while the second model, Copper, is made from solid, 100 percent pure copper.

The Black Kama Wing memory cooling solution is very light at its 25 grams and it is available right away for a retail price tag of $9.8, while the Copper Kama Wing model is a little bit more expensive as it is priced at $19.8 while weighting 105 grams. As copper is a much better material than aluminum in terms of heat dissipation, for heavy duty overclocking the Copper Kama Wing is recommended, while the lighter and cheaper Black Kama Wing is more suitable for computer users that do not push their hardware components to their limits. Both of these new Scythe memory cooling solutions are coming with thermal sheets included in the base package that are necessary in order to obtain an optimal heat transfer rate.
