The modules we received are the CMP4GX3M2C1600C7, which is a 4GB kit configured to CL7 at 1600mhz.
The Airflow Pro box is a similar design to other recent Corsair products we have reviewed such as the AX 1200W PSU, AX 850W PSU, A50 and A70 coolers and H70 liquid cooler.
The AirFlow Pro is made from molded ABS Plastic and is finished in a simple black color to fit comfortably into as many systems as possible.
Corsair supply the mounting kit to fit the AirFlow Pro to the Airflow product. The long cables seen above right connect from the AirFlow Pro to the individual ram models.
The cables attach to the Corsair IC boards (above), which then allows the AirFlow pro to read both temperatures and activity.
Fitting the AirFlow Pro is straightforward, it simply slides into the Airflow housing on one side and two screws are connected on the other side to keep it stable and level.
Above, the AirFlow Pro is fitted to the Airflow, which sits over the memory, attached to the motherboard. It does take up considerable space, but cleverly doesn't take up any more physical space to the sides of the memory, so fitting large coolers shouldn't be affected. A power connector runs from the Pro unit to the Airflow fan.
Above, the Airflow fitted. It requires a Molex feed from the power supply to operate.
The six LED's in the middle monitor temperature and the other lights show activity across the Corsair Dominator sticks. It looks great especially with a side window mod.
Pretty funky looking gadget, price aint bad either considering the electronics involved.
looks great, nicely made as always from corsair.
impressive product, but a little of a small market for it I would t hink. you need corsair memory AND the airflow first………..
Good article, I like the middle section for monitoring temps, thats useful.
not a bad price for a guy who is into all the mods
Very good testing and seems worth the money. If of course you had Corsair memory in the first place.
I like this a lot, would look great in my lian li case with the side window mod. Time to flog my OCZ ram 😉
Ohhhhhh, very pretty, looks like crucial ballistix tracer a little. just better !
Another top notch product from Corsair. very cool idea.
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.
