Chaintech Equips APOGEE GT DDR3 Memory Modules With New ''Cool It Smart'' Heatsink
The overclocking memory module specialist, Walton Chaintech, today showed an individual approach of cooling their own APOGEE GT overclocking DDR3 memory modules. Called "Cool It Smart" the heatsink system is claimed to add almost 50 percent of cooling efficiency without using any heat pipe technology. Cool It Smart ships with the deluxe package of APOGEE GT DDR3 1800MHz (CL8-8-8-24) and represents a well-balanced and positioned with 4 screws light-weight aluminum heatsink mounted on top of the memories, and optionally cooled by two fans. In test environment the temperature of APOGEE GT DDR3 1800 memory modules before using the Cool It Smart heatsink was 73°C. After using the heatsink system, the module temperature had dropped to 52°C, which shows an apparent 21 degrees decrease. Additionally, when the optional dual fans were added on top of the heatsink block, the running memory modules' temperature had reduced to as low as 38°C, very close to the room temperature of 23°C.

Still, it's pretty neat, though the heatsink looks like it belongs on my old Slot 1 Pentium II. :p
Yes I wouldn't be caught dead with one these hideous monstrosity's on MY motherboard.
