JAKARTA - Hardware manufacturer Origin Code introduced a new innovation in the world of computer memory through the launch of Vortex DDR5, a RAM module equipped with an active cooling system in the form of a three-fan module. This technology is claimed to be able to keep the RAM temperature low when used for heavy workloads.
In the midst of rising RAM prices, Origin Code tries to stand out by presenting an integrated cooling solution directly on the memory module. Vortex DDR5 comes with an additional removable fan module, so users can adjust cooling needs according to usage.
Although it is considered innovative, this approach is estimated to be expensive, both in terms of production and selling prices to consumers. Until now, Origin Code has not announced its official price.
With RAM getting more expensive, especially after some major manufacturers such as Micron began withdrawing from the consumer market, the addition of a three-fan cooling module is potentially increasing the cost.
In fact, PC users can actually rely on a 120mm or larger case fan that is directed to the RAM area to help cooling. However, Origin Code claims that its special cooling system is able to provide optimal performance.
Origin Code plans to showcase the Vortex DDR5 RAM with this three-fan module at the CES 2026 event. It is possible that the company will announce the official price at the same time as the exhibition. Based on a Video Cardz report, the Vortex DDR5 RAM is claimed to be able to provide cooling improvements of up to 39.8 percent compared to passive cooling systems.
This three-fan module is designed to be installed on top of the RAM. From the circulating image, the cooling module appears to use a magnetic system, although the details of the locking mechanism have not been explained in detail by the company.
For configuration, Vortex DDR5 will be available in several capacity options. Origin Code offers a 4 x 48GB package with a total capacity of 192GB for users who need large memory. In addition, there are also more common options such as 32GB, 48GB, and 96GB. For extreme users, there will even be a 256GB variant consisting of 4 x 64GB RAM modules.
With an unconventional active cooling approach for RAM, Vortex DDR5 has the potential to be a unique product in the market, although its main challenge will likely lie in price and a relatively limited user segmentation.
