Corsair Vengeance Airflow Memory Cooling For DDR5 Server RAM
For those building your own server around the new Intel Xeon 6 'Granite Rapids' or AMD EPYC 9005 'Turin' platforms and using DDR5-6000/DDR5-6400 memory (or the interesting MRDIMM-8000 memory with Xeon 6 P), one of the factors you need to be much more mindful about than in the past is that at least the initial generation of DDR5-6000+ memory is running much hotter than prior server memory.
There's been guidance from Intel and AMD as well as sever vendors about the thermal considerations with DDR5-6000/DDR5-6400 and extra precautions. Even with this Turin server build using a SilverStone XE360-SP5 AIO liquid cooler for Socket SP5 processors, the memory temperatures were running too hot. So immediately I opted for some active RAM cooling and since then the Micron DDR5 memory temperatures have been back under control.
