Closer Look

First impressions of the memory – they look relatively large compared to another other module I’ve dealt with in previous experience but nevertheless they look really elegant with those featured aluminium heatsinks attached. Our DDR3 EVO ONE modules use the GeIL MTCD (Maximised Thermal Conduction & Dissipation) Cooling System which as I have said incorporates aluminium heatsinks and a heatpipe running along the top of the circuit board and heat dissipates through those silver fins. The initiative behind this design is that case fans and in particular top-down CPU cooler type fans will push heat away and remove unwanted temperatures, even if the heat is circulated around the case this is better from the memory aspect, with good airflow inside the case, this won’t be an issue as such anyway.





All modules look great and the quality of metal used seems to be good. The only concern some may have is the height of such memory could interfere with the CPU Cooler. The DDR3 EVO ONE modules are actually a further 3 cm’s bigger than the traditional memory module making them 6 cm in height. So if you are having trouble right now with standard sized modules, the EVO ONE’s are definitely a no go.
