Description
This is for keeping your memory nice and cool, especially when overclocking. There was an old one that I didn't like very much, but this one looks much better!
The Corsair Dominator Airflow RAM Fan unboxing video presents Linus Tech Tips’ hands-on exploration of Corsair's cooler-style RAM airflow accessory. Linus contrasts the new 60 mm fan design with the older, louder 40 mm variant, noting that the newer unit is wider to fit under six memory modules and is likely quieter in operation. He emphasizes that the airflow fan is designed to provide impinging air flow to the memory subsystem with moderate RPMs, and that the product can be used with any RAM, not just Corsair Dominator modules. The unboxing includes a clearly explained installation guide printed on the backboard, a simple four-step process (three steps plus completion), and a straightforward installation with two small clips, screws, and washers. Linus demonstrates the clamp mechanism and thumb screws, showing how the airflow module attaches to the memory modules and how the whole assembly is secured using retention clips rather than mounting to the memory modules themselves. He also mentions the fan header connection, the three-pin connector, and the possibility of plugging it into a fan header on the motherboard. Overall, the segment combines practical setup instructions with practical observations about ease of use and the fitment for DHX or Dominator memory kits, concluding with a close-up look and a brief remark on air flow visuals. The video frames a clear, beginner-friendly unboxing experience that highlights the product’s quieter performance and user-friendly installation, setting expectations for how it complements memory cooling during overclocking.
