As advertised, the RAM cooler was very easy to install and required no tools; simply slide a RAM stick in-between the clips and lock them down using the spring clips.Finally, plug in the cooler to a fan port on the motherboard and you have instant RAM cooling.Unlike many RAM coolers, the Vizo Sleet cooler has a narrow profile, allowing you to install two sticks next to each other.

Testing:

Test System:
AMD 64+ X2 3800+ AM2
ECS GeForce 6100SM-M
HP 2GB DDR2 RAM

Temperature measurements were recorded at the RAM sticks while the computer was performing Memtest for ~2 hours, followed by measurements at idle speeds.

Vizo Sleet RAM Cooler Review

The Vizo Sleet RAM cooler didn�t provide very much cooling, due to perhaps its simple design and lack of any air cooling or heat pipes.However, in the long run, even a small drop in temperature can help with performance.

Conclusion:

The Vizo Sleet RAM cooler is a simple product that is easy to install, though it doesn�t do much in terms of thermal performance.While you probably will not notice a performance difference in stock applications, the reduced heat helps lengthen the life of your memory.Plus, they look pretty cool and don�t take up much space, allowing you to install memory sticks adjacent to each other.

Pros:

+ Easy to install with no tools needed
+ Slim profile

Cons: – Not much reduction in temperature
- Simple design
