Corsair AirFlow Pro Review

Review Score:
Zardon

The Corsair AirFlow Pro is a very useful gadget which we had a lot of fun playing with. It is well built, easy to implement and offers not only activity display but temperature readout. This can be used as a good diagnostic tool, because if you have the Airflow fan running and the memory is reading RED then you know something is wrong (unless you are overvolting heavily).

The Airflow fan system really works well and dropped heatspreader temperatures by almost 10c, a sizeable reduction and a sure way to help prolong the life of your memory. Noise is also kept to a minimum which is impressive considering the size of the fans they have used.

Right now the Airflow PRO is retailing for around £40 in the UK and a full range of Corsair products can be bought from our retail partner YoyoTech.

    impressive product, but a little of a small market for it I would t hink. you need corsair memory AND the airflow first………..

    Very good testing and seems worth the money. If of course you had Corsair memory in the first place.

    Very nice idea, pretty pointless for cases without windows tho.

    Can I just confirm something. I would need corsair compatible memory, the airflow unit and then the pro ?

    Corsair memory so the header will attach from the PRO, then the Airflow for the memory, and the PRO on top of it for the readout. 3 things, yes.

    Shame it wont work with other memory, it would have bought the airflow and the pro, but not the memory as well. ive perfectly good DDR3 from ADATA.

    You dont need the pro. the airflow on its own should fit most modules if you want to get a good air cooler for the ram.
