19 years old,far too much fucking free time on ones hands.Perhaps a job would do some good.Tell then adieu

He makes me laugh, and what really makes me laugh is the ridiculous RAM cooler. For some reason it isnt shown in this review, maybe they removed it or Abit realised their mistake, but it is hilarious.

Considering DDR2 RAM often runs cooler than standard DDR, it really is way over the top. All of those little fans are going to make shit load of noise, and as anyone who has put heatspreaders on their RAM can tell you, extra cooling really doesnt make much difference unless you have it clocked stratospherically high, which usually means the RAM won't even function no matter how cool it is.

Heres a picture with it attached. What I do like are the high quality capacitors and VRMS used, which will definatley boost overclocking capabilitys.
