New Fan Keeps HyperX Memory Cool While Looking Cool
COMPUTEX TAIPEI 2009 and Fountain Valley, CA -- June 2, 2009 -- Kingston Technology Company, Inc., the independent world leader in memory products, today announced its new HyperX® Fan, designed specifically to keep Kingston® HyperX memory cool. The dual 60mm fans optimize airflow around the modules helping memory run at peak performance for longer periods of time. A video of the new HyperX Fan has been posted on YouTube at
“At LAN parties and benchmarking events worldwide, HyperX enthusiasts told us they wanted something cool looking to keep the memory cool,” said Dara Sun, HyperX product manager, Kingston. “We listened and thus developed this fan as the perfect complement for both the standard and taller HyperX T1 series modules. The hip blue lights give it a bling factor that could be the difference between first and second place in a system-build competition.”
The HyperX Fan is made of anodized aluminum and in the same familiar blue color as the HyperX heatspreaders. When turned on, the fan blades are illuminated by eight small blue LEDs. Power use is minimal and noise is not an issue as the fan runs at a whisper-quiet 25 dBA*. The fan is available as a standalone or bundled with Kingston’s 6GB 2000- and 1800MHz triple-channel memory kits with the T1 heatspreaders for Intel Core i7 systems.
The HyperX fan is backed by a one-year warranty and free 24/7 technical support. For detailed information please visit the Kingston Web site at www.kingston.com.
