Corsair has announced that its newest and
fastest Vengeance LPX RAM kits can now run
at up to 5000MHz. This makes it the fastest
commercially available RAM at stock speed,
overtaking G.Skill’s 4800MHz Trident Z
Royal memory.
Not surprisingly, the 5000MHz Vengeance
RAM gets a bit toasty, so it’s supplied with a
Vengeance Airflow cooling fan, which can be
clipped onto the DIMMs to provide a degree
of active cooling. It’s not cheap though – the
price for a 16GB (2 x 8GB) dual-channel kit is
currently £1,055 inc VAT from corsair.comARCTIC has released its Freezer 50 TR, a
cooler specifically designed to handle the
formidable demands of AMD’s
Threadripper CPUs. To this end, it has a
dual-tower design with eight heatpipes
and two PWM-controlled fans.
There’s also an addressable
RGB (ARGB) lighting system
with 13 LEDs, which means
the cooler isn’t just
extremely powerful, but
also easy on the eye.
The heatsink itself is
aluminium, with a densephalanx of 104 fins and a large surface
area, with the heatpipes making direct
contact with the CPU. The radiator.
Meanwhile, the asymmetrical pair of fans
work in tandem in a push/pull setup.
There is a 120mm fan on one
side of the heatsink, a
140mm fan in the centre,
with the opposite side
used as a vent. The
Arctic Freezer 50 TR
is available now for
£60 inc VAT.
