RAM module heatspreaders are pretty common place with most quality memory. Heatspreaders allow the memory to reach higher clock speeds and voltages by dissipating the extra heat created by the memory. To reach even higher overclocks, the memory may need to be actively cooled or something like the Arctic Cooling Arctic RC heatspreaders.

Arctic Cooling uses a radical long fin design which allows greater heat dissipation and provides improved airflow around the spreader. According to Arctic Cooling, these heatspreaders allow temperature drops of 34% from conventional heatspreaders.

So let’s see how this heatspreader performs. Let’s get started…….

Arctic RC Memory Cooler

Thermodynamic RAM cooler for enthusiasts

High clock speeds and raised voltage lead to increasing temperatures – even on RAM modules. Since this lowers the overclocking potential as well as reduces the service life of the modules, ARCTIC RC – the revolutionary thermodynamic design lowers the temperature and thus extends your overclocking potential.

Main Features

• Unmatched cooling performance

• 26°C cooler than stocked RAM cooler

• Increases overclocking potential

• High thermal efficiency

• Optimized for natural convection

• Pre-applied adhesive thermal tape

• Applicable to single and double sided modules

• Light weight; transport safe

• Easy installation

Unmatched cooling performance

The aluminum-made Arctic RC is an excellent cooling solution for DDR2 and DDR3 SDRAM modules. Its pre-applied thermal tape improves heat transfer from the memory module. The radical long-fin design notably increases the surface area for heat dissipation and optimizes natural convection. With such efficient thermal dissipation, the Arctic RC manages to reduce 34°C of the memory module temperature.

Extensive compatibility

Arctic RC is a perfect cooling tool for enthusiast-guide modules – it is compatible with both DDR2 and DDR 3 SDRAM modules and applicable to single and double sided modules.
