Kingston HyperX Fan Review
Specifications
The specifications of the HyperX Fan are as follows:
| Rated Voltage | 12 VDC |
| Operational Voltage | 8 – 13.5 VDC |
| Input Current | 0.09 A |
| Input Power | 1.08 W |
| RPM | 3000 ± 10% |
| Max. Air Flow | 15.02 CFM |
| Acoustical Noise | 25 (28 max.) dB-A |
Each unit features two 60mm fans that blow down onto the memory module(s). Featuring a standard 3-pin plug, it can be plugged onto a fan header directly and controlled by the motherboard settings or into a fan controller terminal and adjusted from there.
In the package you get the HyperX fans, two side plates with four thumb screws to attach them and the installation guide. The installation guide is very clear and in a few short steps you will be up and running.
Please note however, that the unit fits perfectly over four slots. For six slots, you just need to position it as close to center as possible but still give clearance to any large CPU cooler that may be in use.
Although it’s cheap I still think that RAM cooling is mostly useless. One could get a good-cooled PC and he would be still fine…most of the times.
If you’re gonna push the system for all you can get out of it, heat in inescapable. Cooling your components is also a great way to lengthen the life of your hardware.
