Thanks for the headsup.
Hmm, its going to be worth sitting back and watching this evolve a while before diving in.

Seems they want/expect every bit of hardware to be watercooled in future.

If there isn't a problem when the power is on the motherboard, I'm sure it won't be a problem putting them on the memory.
Staying away from RGB stupidity sure will grant the best results for cooling, but we can always rely on reviews!

the good news this time for AMD fans is that Intel systems will be the beta test and the wait will allow more capacity to build and the price to drop. pci4 was a big price hit on AMD fans as they paid for the new tech. many still kept with pci3 just for pricing on m.2's
but Intel systems will not have a choice and they are the lion's share of OEM, so by the time AM5 rolls out we may be saving as much as $20 per stick

I will only get PCIe 4 NVME when DirectStorage make use of it, right now I'm sticking to SATA SSD 😀

Ah yes I new these had a purpose.....

That looks familiar not sure iwant to remember why though

That's what I'm thinking.... Not really sure why there was a sudden need to move voltage control onto the ram stick though....
No reason to ditch SATA even then, unless it's to clear a slot for an NVMe drive.... For most real-world applications, SATA SSDs still perform just fine. If you have older 2.5 SATA SSDs, they still make great storage drives.
If that ever becomes a necessity for ram, I'll stop upgrading until absolutely necessary....

Probably to reduce noise, resistance, capacitive effects etc on power supply lines.
The smaller+faster things get, the less voltage they use, the more stable power needs to be.
At some point it had to happen, I guess we hit that point.
tunejunky
understood. but pcie 3 is fully directstorage compatible

super bingo

RAM cooler
This was the first one if I remember correctly (I had one, it came with the corsair dominator ram back in like 2006-2009?)

It fit over the ram modules like this (sorry couldn't find another pic).

Safe to say they didn't do much.

Much like LED this LED that fascination manufactures have 🙄

my problem is like many PC enthusiasts i adore SFF and this ddr5 is presenting a potential problem. if the heatspeaders are too high that will limit the number of air coolers available. if the heatspreaders work well that's extra static hot air that needs dissipating or it will join the same over the VRM. the number of SFF cases with excellent air flow are very limited. the number of cases with barely adequate air flow is high.
there will be throttling for some

Really think its not going to be much of a problem to be honest. I think this is just click bait headlines, or its based off old data from certain companies internal testing of early DDR5 chips.

RAM coolers were around before that. My local CompUSA was selling RAM coolers for first gen DDR..... They attached to the ram retention clips.
SFF cases aren't the only ones suffering from poor airflow these days. Even ATX cases have succumbed to the "airflow need not exist" design principal the last few years.....

Its probably because of ddr2. some of those sticks came with 2.3v profiles.
