- Origin Code will show its new Vortex DDR5 memory at CES 2026
- This RAM has a cooling solution with three fans (which are removable).
- This active fan cooling promises 40% better performance than passive cooling. Given the RAM crisis. This memory is expected to be very expensive.
Origin Code is a lesser-known RAM brand that offers a more innovative version of the DDR5 RAM modules that the company plans to launch at CES 2026.
We’ve already heard about Origin Code’s Vortex DDR5 memory. The manufacturer will be showing off the RAM at CES in January. VideoCardz reports -. The special thing is that the memory has a cooling system with three fans.
We can expect demos that focus on “sustainable overclocking” in real-world workloads. Show what Vortex DDR5 can do.
Active cooling of this memory is provided by a unit with three fans that is mounted above the RAM modules. Is removable. Available kits range from 2 x 16GB modules (32GB total) to quad configurations such as 4 x 48GB (192GB total).
We may also get details on source code pricing at CES 2026. Of course. Given the current RAM price crisis.
Reached ridiculous levels at a dizzying pace is has by which. This may come as a surprise.
Analysis: Baby. I turned graphics card fans away.
For the price. A good bit of high-end RAM (which is is by this. As mentioned. Is already getting incredibly expensive) with an innovative. Custom active cooling system. So there’s no telling what the cost will be. Of course, expect something good.
Is such a cooling system also necessary for the system memory? Sure. That’s a bit of an exaggeration. For enthusiasts. Who might be the target audience. It can be valuable.
Origin Code clearly believes this will make a difference to high-end PCs.
As the company will be doing a comparison between active. Passive cooling to show the effectiveness of the former. The marketing pitch is that the fans provide 40% better cooling performance. Likely compared to passive cooling when the fan assembly is removed.
And I have to admit. If you make your RAM look like a small graphics card placed in the middle of the motherboard. Have three fans on the modules. It’s pretty cool from a visual perspective. But yes.
This award will undoubtedly be special (if we see an award).
However. This product could be seen from a different cost point of view. That is. A few months ago. A cooling add-on of this type would have significantly increased the price of DDR5 modules.
While the RAM itself will now be so expensive that the triple fan won’t represent that much of a percentage increase over the total cost of Vortex memory. Therefore, this innovation takes on a strange significance in today’s market.
