Cons: none
Pros: quiet, looks good Comment:
I installed these onto some G.Skill ram, you can tell its not designed to clip directly onto ddr3 sticks but it can and does work, it just bends the arms out slightly. This setup has been working well for some time now and the fans are quiet and do a good job at keeping my ram cool. A universal mount on these coolers would make them much better, but it still offers good value. |

Cons:
DOESN'T FIT . 4-PIN not fan-header.
Pros: Dampening system very well done, entire fan holder is separate from chassis. Comment:
I bought this with/for my ASUS WS reovultion. Lets just say it didn't fit on my Corsair Vengence DDr3 1600 RAM. Instead I put it on my old computer. Slight minus for running on a 4-pin .. but oh well.Very quiet, GREAT design. Hell its so cheap as well. |

Cons:
But here's the big surprise, it has a molex power cable, wow! I expect three prong mb plug. Had to find a molex cable for the modular psw. Had to install a whole cable just to power this ram cooler. Oh well, it's working.
Pros: Easy installation and it's all put together you just plug in the power. Looks well built. Fans spin nice, has dropped ram temps well, would be at $9.99 price U bet. Comment:
I buy alot of Artic Cooling products for over 10 years. From case fans etc. the quality, engineering and long life of any of their products has never let me down.If you don't have a molex plugin it's a deal break, if U got one it's a no brainer = buy.First ram cooler, temps are way down. Fits on motherboard ram clips over standard height ddr3 1600 by Kingston. |

Cons:
Not a perfect fit
Pros: PriceNo annoying LED's Comment:
Not bad, looks good on my ram and works fine so far. The only complaint I have for this cooler is that it doesn't fully fit my corsair dominator rams. The flexible clamps aren't long enough imo and already have long scratch marks on them. |

Cons:
designed to work with AC's RAM coolers - not other coolers (but read below)
Pros: Arctic cooling qualitycools the RAM very well Comment:
This cooler is excellent - keeps the RAM nice and cold BUT AC decided to make it compatible with their aftermarket RAM coolers. Have no fear - for it can sit well on RAM.I took one and with a dremel and heatgun, molded the fan clips to sit really well on the RAM - gskill with regular low heat sinks. On another set I just sat the cooler on top of the RAM (corsair - large, extended sinks) and it sits pretty well.The other mod I did was that the fan is molex power based and with the pin outs, the fan takes 7V (pin on 12V and pin on 5V). With a multimeter, I moved the pins to have the proper polarity at 5V - near silent. The 7V setting I could hear it in my uber quiet case but at 5V I couldn't hear it at all. The other case has lots of fan (controlled but moving air and noticeably louder and I couldn't hear the fan at 7V.So great coolers - just wished AC made them a bit more universal but with a little modding, you can make these work.5 starsOne of the Best-Highly Recommended |

Cons:
No LEDsMOLEX connector
Pros: PriceEfficacityLow noise Comment:
I buyed 3 of theses things to cool my OCZ Gold memory (2 others for friends). By lowering your RAM temp by about 10 degrees, it lets you overclock your ram without crashing or burning it. If you overclock this is a must have. I don't ear the fans over my antec tri-cools at lower speed. I changed the connector for a 3pins motherboard 1 and will be adding some leds. |

Cons:
Lack of 3 pin connector and fan speed. Molex only.
Pros: Silent and good air flow. Comment:
This is the second unit of Arctic Ram Cooler for me. I used it to cool tripple channel ram (total 12GB) for i920 MB. I replace OCZ XTC Memory Cooler V2 with this one. The OCZ XTC is good only for a day and then the system began generate some kind of ram error. I found the OCZ ram clip is too strong and it generate too much pressure for the ram and causing the error. No more error as soon as I replace it with this one. Lucky I use the same Arctic Ram cooler for other i920 board. Now I have to look for what I can do for the OCZ XTC cooler. |

Cons:
friction fit
Pros: Very quiet, looks cool. Comment:
I got 3 of these fans for my DDR3 memory. It fits by friction fit on regular 3x2gb ddr3 memory. It keeps the memory very cool and the fans are so quiet I couldn't tell they were on. The fans come on rubber mounts so vibration is a zero issue.If you want your memory to last, you have to keep it cool and these fans work great. I know it says only for special memory from AC, but they were on sale so I tried it out and it works on ordinary memory as well.A must for quiet cool. |

Cons: Doesnt clip on to regular memory
Pros: Cheap, fits on gskill ram Comment:
I bought this only because it was so cheap. I have it on my gskill DDR2 8000 ram. It fits on the ram but doesnt clip in. The pressure alone holds it on. Im guessing it would work on just about any RAM out there. |

Cons: 4 pin molexFans are not replaceableA potential for fan to falling off if not placed on properly
Pros: Effective and quietCheapest effective coolerNo need to stick anything on the RAM permanentlyAesthetically designed and covers up cheap RAM. Comment:
This seems to fit secured enough without purchasing the Arctic RC memory cooler and is noticeably effective enough to get a little more performance out of my 2xGB Aenon ram that has no heat spreaders. I may have to open up the case to check if the fan is not going to fall off.I would prefer if it was a 3 pin fan header, but I moved the black cable so I could connect it a fan controller to make it quieter. |

Cons: Mounting system
Pros: Nice designSilentDoes the job Comment:
Nice product, it definitely does what it's supposed to do and is nearly silent. It moves a decent amount of air, definitely enough to keep the RAM cool. I cannot hear any increase in noise level over the other fans in the case. It also looks really cool, so if you have a case with window, that's a plus. The only problem with this thing is that it was design to fit on some Arctic Cooling memory heatsink, which I had no intention of buying. However it will also fit over any other RAM, but it will only be held in place by friction alone. Considering that it does not vibrate at all, that should be enough to prevent it from taking off. Overall it's a good product, and at a lower price than other memory coolers. I am definitely happy with this purchase. |

Cons: - Short cable, I mean freakishly short.
Pros: - Quiet- Looks very sleek- Cable is nicely sleeved Comment:
While it is designed to fit over the Arctic cooling RAM heatsinks it will fit any RAM just fine. This thing is really quiet and moves a fair bit of air. Looks great but the cable is short. Luckily I was able to hijack a nearby cable so I didn't need an extension. |
Got this to add cooling to my 16gb's of ram....does a good job. Falls off easy if tapped while working on the internal components of the computer so I just take it off now when I have work to do ont he machine and put it on again at the end to avoid knock off frustration.
