Corsair CMXAFPRO AirFlow PRO LED Memory Activity MonitorItem#: C13-6117  |  Model#: CMXAFPRO

What I needed

I am a fan of Corsair memory brand and in the past I have used their DHX pro-memory for DDR1 back in the day that used parametric display of information, I found it quite useful in determining memory failure in their old models in the past. This new unit is a bit expensive for parametric data but it now displays temperature information which is a nice thing to know.

Nice add on

It works as advertized although you will need to go on line to get clear instructions to aid the instalation

Fitment Warning

I tried to install this on an ASUS Crosshair V motherboard, but am unable to do so because the memory goes in upside down compared to other boards. I have been made to understand this happens on some AMD and X79 based motherboards. The cables that come off the Dominator RAM modules are not long enough to put it in right side up, and putting the unit on upside down interferes with the ability to install a graphics card in the top (primary) slot. DRAM must go in with the module outputs at the TOP or this will not work. Had to RMA but Corsair was very good about it. Otherwise the unit appears to be very well built and would have been an awesome addition to my system.

good product

Well designed color temp indicator led's very nice. Running 24 gig dominator the activity led's are active during game play and look great! One of my Led is not showing but it could be a lose connection. Overall good buy.

mem monitor

works great no problem at all.

Disco lights for your DDR3 RAM

Only complaint is from personal install. Wires that connect to modules are just a little longer than needed, and plugin is slightly tricky. Noobs should steer away. Also there is not a designation for the plugs on the unit. Would've been nice to have wires numbered. Only works with certain Corsaire RAM modules.

GREAT DEVICE

i got this and it works just as described. having lots of fun the lighted display, i had been trying all kind of things out.

Bit of a Learning Curve

It does take a while to be able to read the led display and understand what it means, better would have been a LED display with numbers indicating speed and function. It is built like a rock and once you see the insides of the part you understand just how much work they put into it. It works well and after a couple of months I am understanding what it tells me from my memory on the flash. The response from it is instant, and accurate. Would have given a 5 star on features if it had a numeric display.
