Kingston shows off heat-pipe Skulltrail memory

Everyone knows that memory modules inside a computer can get hot, but the FB-DIMM modules in a Skulltrail box are a different story. These suckers get so hot that they can almost melt the skin of your fingers and up until now your only solution was to aim a big fan at the memory. In fact, this is exactly what we did with our in house Skulltrail system – we took off the case cover and pointed an industrial strength Vornado fan at the memory sticks and MCH. But Kingston has a better solution with their new heat-pipe phase-change memory.
