14 DAY TRIAL // Memory modules for high-end systems, especially gaming and overclocking computers, always have a heatspreader of some sort, but Corsair figured cooling could still get better, so it launched the Vengeance Airflow memory cooler series.
We've actually seen thess types of things before, but there aren't many of them on the market, since there isn't much of a customer base.
Besides, it's rather hard to provide variety, so if someone got there ahead of you, there's no point in launching a memory cooler if you don't have any chance of matching the first arrivals in terms of marketing acumen and such.
Still, even though memory cooling is a minor market, it is a pretty stable one, which is why Corsair decided to take a shot and release the Vengeance Airflow.
The Vengeance Airflow line is made for Vengeance Pro memory modules, kits of four to be precise.
A single fan is used, unlike for the cooler made for the Dominator series. Since Vengeance Pro memory is high-end but not quite as overpowered as Dominator, that makes sense.
Besides, the memory can live just fine without this cooler. Vengeance Airflow is made for people who want to overclock it, or who just want to make sure their hardware is as cool as it can get.
After all, barring a few exceptions, lower temperatures generally mean a longer lifespan for PC parts, and when you pay cash for something like vengeance DDR3, you want it to last for a long time.
The new cooler has a 60 mm fan, PWM controlled, with a rotary speed of 3,500 RPM (rotations per minute). Its maximum airflow is of 14.5 CFM.
All in all, it measures 145 mm x 67 mm x 27 mm / 5.70 x 2.63 x 1.06 inches and weighs 115 grams / 0.25 pounds.
Sadly, Corsair didn't provide pricing or availability details. It did say how many different models there would be though: three apparently, identical save for the colors (red, blue and silver grey).
