News Teamgroup's T-Force Dark AirFlow D5 memory cooler looks like a GPU cooler

[Admin]

Teamgroup showcased its T-Force Dark AirFlow D5 memory cooler which provides dual 40mm fans for cooling, along with vertical and horizontal rotational adjustment, allowing for multi-angle airflow to RAM.

What is on the motherboard now that can't have an extra fan attached?
Memory - can have fans
Nvme - can have fans
GPU - obviously
CPU - Yes
VRM - Sometimes...

Soon the entire board will be covered in fans.

Soon our cases will be levitating... need to be nailed down to not float away

this is getting silly.

Did they forget that the CPU with its massive cooler and the GPU will need some space in that exact area as well?

This doesn't look that different from a Zalman ZM-RC1000. I bought one of these maybe 15 years to cool off some FB DIMMs which actually did run hot and needed heat spreaders and direct airflow to keep cool. Only real difference is how they mount. But this isn't anything new.

I'm somewhat surprised it has taken this long for a universal DRAM cooler to come along given the benefit of cooling DDR5 at high speeds. Not sure how big of a benefit it would be for systems using air coolers, but it should make a difference for ones using AIO/custom.

Did they forget that the CPU with its massive cooler and the GPU will need some space in that exact area as well?

If you look at the mounting bracket you can see that the whole fan module can move left and right across the bracket, and the module can be tilted as well (as mentioned in the article) so CPU cooler clearance is a non issue. I'm not sure why you think there would be any issues with the GPU either way though.
