If you have ever taken a laptop apart then you will have seen that on most
the cooling fan draws in air via a grill and then blows this air around the
CPU and exhausts to the outside world again. This air is NOT circulated
around the rest of laptop caseing to dissapate heat.
Depending on what you using the laptop for the memory can get extremely hot
as it works harder on some applications then on others. It may also be true
that the memory should be able to withstand this extreme temperture under
normal circumstances, so it may be an early warning of problems further down
the path. But as a cooling fan is considerably cheaper them a new memory
module it makes good sense to me to use a this method of cooling rather
replaceing the memory modules.
I know from my own experience that my laptop was like a new pin internally
and yet the display would oftem blank or display wierd patterns etc. due to
the memory modules overheating and placing the laptop on a cooling plinth
cured the problem completely at a fraction of the cost of two memory
modules.
