Crucial joins the RAM cooler crowd with Ballistix fan

http://www.tweaktown.com Memory coolers are far from new, but it is good to see the folks at Crucial and Lexar joining the party. A little later on the company intends to launch the Ballistix cooler, which features two 60mm cooling fans that produce around 20 CFM and we can vouch for the comment in the video that the cooler is quiet.

What a ridiculous memory cooler design! It blocks some PCI-e slots and it doesn't allow for larger CPU or northbridge heatsinks! Oh....and it just looks completely out of place.

What's funny is that this case mod was shipped to CES with a larger aftermarket CPU heatsink, but due to this memory cooler they had to swap it for the only thing they had that would fit....and that was a stock Intel CPU heatsink.

Its time to get back to the drawing board there Crucial!
