OC3D Official Press Release

DDR memories are getting bigger and faster. The heat output by these memory units are progressively going up as well. Thermaltake has noticed this significant issue and presents the new DDR RAM Cooler - the Spirit RS (P/N: CL-R0026).

The Spirit RS heatsink is separated into two compartments - the area that comes in contact with the chipset is made of extruded aluminum to effectively transfer the heat to the heatpipes. The heatpipes then transfers the heat towards the aluminum fins on top of the unit. The thermal efficiency of the Spirit RS is extremely high and can quickly cool off the memory module. In addition, the heatpipe and the heatsink are adjustable in angle so that the users can install them however way they would like to minimize compatibility issues and increase performance efficiency. The Spirit RS can be used on DDR and DDR2 memory modules and includes two separate contact patches to maximize compatibility among single-sided and double-sided memory modules.

do they not realise a bent heatpipe like that just WOULDNT WORK.

Dont tell that to my "bent" Zalman Heatpipe video cooler. Thing works like a charm. Or rather any other video card heatpipe cooled solution for that matter. Like the one found on my 7950GT.

Someone decided to be argumentative today, erm... everyday.

Almost every heatpipe out there is curved in some sort of way. Let's be a retard today and say it sucks. :rolleyes:

It doesnt look that good tbh, kinda looks like something i'd make.

OCZ didn't make anything like this either, unless you're talking about their FlexLC or whatever.

Thermaltake copied Thermalright. See Here --> http://www.thermalright.com/a_page/main_product_hr07.htm

OCZ ARE going to make something like this Nick, which is what FlexLC is

It's thermaltake and let's just take a stab in the dark saying yes it almost certainly will suck

Personal experience says it will suck

I think you are forgetting that the ram coolers in the picture are mounted at 90* when installed, meaning the gel will pool in one end. On the Zalman it is mounted at 0* meaning the fluid can do its job via convection + displacement when its state changes

True.

I have dissected TT heatpipes in different coolers and they use sintered metal inside their pipes (no fluid or jell). In theory this should work, BUT what the heck were they thinking with that LOUSY pict?:eek:

I love the look of the Thermalright though, thanks NickS

Lol you make it sound like a biology project hehe.
