memory oriented sort of unboxing today but it isn't RAM this is the Corsair Dominator airflow fan and this is not the original one this is the new one which is as you can see wide enough for six modules to fit underneath it now the old one was about this thick and used little tiny 40 mm fans that quite honestly were just too loud they were obnoxious fans awful just awful but these ones are 60 mm fans and though I've never actually turned them on I'm going to assume they're quite a bit quieter the optional airflow fan unit contains 260 tachometer controlled fans to provide impinging air flow to the memory subsystem with the moderate RPMs required to provide adequate forced air the airflow fan is nearly silent there you go they say it's quiet the fan easily clamps onto most motherboards now something that you should bear in mind is that you do not need to use Corsair RAM in order to take advantage of the Dominator airflow fan you can actually use it with any RAM but the height that it sits at is just right for their dhx or their Dominator modules so I mean obviously designed to work best with their product so the first thing we'll find inside is hopefully some kind of installation instruction oh yeah there we go there it is that's clever see they've gone and they've taken that backboard and they've turned it into your installation manual so figure one clip on the retention levers figure two clipped over the modules figure three plug in the airflow figure four completed so it is a four-step actually three-step because the fourth step is that it's done uh installation process I've installed it before it's really easy it comes okay first we find the two little Clips those go on either side I'm dropping things all over the place tonight there's another there's another clip okay then we have oh there they are okay so then we have the actual Dominator airflow module itself you got a nice long little sleeved fan connector there that's a three pin connector so the easiest place to plug this in is going to be somewhere on your motherboard into one of the fan headers and then right in here you have a little baggie of screws and washers and they're mostly pre-applied to the thumb screws okay so these are really easy to apply all you really do is position this clip under here just like that so you can kind of see what I've done there and then you can move it around to get the best positioning over your memory modules and then you take the little thumb screws and you thumb them in there and then these will be mounted to either side then you take the whole thing and clip it clamp it over the memory retention clip so you don't actually clip it to the sides of your memory modules you pull it over just a little bit more so that it will hold the memory modules in place by holding the clips anyway that was pretty much it thank you for checking out my unboxing of the Corsair Dominator airflow module I'm actually going to give you like a couple seconds of like closeup we got like some like some panning action here check it out oh yeah there's Corsair air flow on the side airf flow okay that was it"}
