"We might have travelled to the moon and created the Large Hadron Collider, but humans still continue to be amazed by fans that display messages via LEDs when they’re spinning round. Memory manufacturer GeIL is the latest manufacturer to implement the conversational wheel of light, but this time it’s attached to a new hefty-looking RAM cooler, which GeIL says is capable of knocking a good few degrees off your memory’s temperature.

The EVO Cyclone features an adjustable mounting system to suit pretty much any height of memory module, a 50mm fan in the middle, heatsink fins on either side of the fan and air ducts underneath. The idea is that cold air is pushed over the memory by the fan, and the hot air is then dispersed through the sides of the heatsink.   

Meanwhile, the LED fan tells you the speed of the fan, as well as the temperature of your RAM using a heat sensor. In GeIL’s own tests, the cooler apparently knocked the temperature of the RAM from 48.5°C to 36°C, while the heatspreader temperature dropped from 44.9°C to 33°C. GeIL also claims that the addition of the cooler had no effect on the ambient temperature of the case.

The fan comes with a three-pin power connector and runs at 12V as standard. This spins the fan at 3,400rpm, although GeIL claims that the ‘ultra-quiet fan operates at a stealthy 21dBA’ at this speed.
