GeIL USA, Inc. announced the new “Esoteria Series”. Esoteria, or Esoteric, means specialized or advanced in nature, available only to a narrow circle of people that are highly knowledgeable. Like the name suggests, this Series of memory is specialized in nature, designed with the enthusiasts in mind. Racing-inspired, the Esoteria Series is screaming for speed while boasting real carbon-fiber integrated onto the heat-spreaders. The carbon fiber is made by renowned aftermarket BMW Tuner-Vorsteiner with dry vacuumed form inspired by F1 racing technology. This is no wannabe imitation of fake carbon fiber. Each of the Esoteria carbon fiber heat-spreader requires being hand crafted for proper fitment. GeIL didn’t just stop at the looks. After all, it is what’s under the hood that counts. Optimized SPD to couple with the high-grade chips used in the Esoteria, overclockability has been increased while retaining stability. Due to the advanced and complexity nature of this product, it will be shipped in limited quantities. ESOTERIA SERIES Available in DDR2 PC2-6400 800MHz & DDR2 PC2-8500 1066MHz Capacity of 2GB Dual Channel (2x1GB) CAS 4-4-4-12 Optimized SPD for overclocking Voltage 2.1V – 2.5V Blalck or Silver true carbon-fiber Heat-spreader Black or Silver aluminum base heat-spreaders GeIL Limited Lifetime Warranty
Does Carbon Fiber have good thermal properties then? I would have thought it would have been more of an insulator?
The entire computing world does seem to be slightly addicted to carbon fibre at the moment, it seems. First modders with carbon fibre mods, then Ultra with it's case and now GeIL with it's RAM heatspreaders.
CF is a polymer based with a carbon based fiber. NEither the polymer resin used nor the carbon are known for their ability to conduct heat. The Pics from GIEL look like it is just a thin layer on top of an Aluminum Spreader. I am thinking it is just another company trying to get on the carbon fiber band wagon.
