embolic Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 In a recent Tiger Direct mailer/catalog (VOL. XIII ISSUE FAB, page 31) I read the following in reference to XMS Pro Series DDR: "It has nine dedicated activity LED's for each memory bank, [B]mini-fans that maximize air contact for faster heat dissipation[/B] and is..." Nowhere else is the cyber-world (not even on the Tiger Direct website) can I find any reference to fans in XMS Pro memory. So what is Tiger smokin'? Just curious since the technofile in me found the idea of itty-bitty fans on the RAM kind of 'neato'. Embo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMC_SAVAGE Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 They probably ment to say "fins". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellowbeard Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 [quote name='kec789']I wouldn't buy from tiger direct online...bad rep. Use newegg.com[/QUOTE] I have actually had very good luck with Tiger including 1 painless RMA. I have heard a few bad stories but I imagine that every vendor has those. I would check Reseller Ratings if you care too. I agree with the CMC Savage above that the "mini-fans" is a typo. I'm sure it is fins. Good luck wherever you buy it. Mike.
