Active RAM Cooler with ARGB Display
The Thermalright MC-3 DIGITAL BLACK is an active memory cooler built for desktop PCs. It mounts on DDR through DDR5 modules using a tool-free clip. Triple 40mm PWM fans push up to 4500RPM with dual ball bearings. An ARGB display connects via a motherboard 9-pin USB header for TRCC software monitoring.
For Overclockers and High-Load Builds
This cooler suits gamers and overclockers who need lower memory temperatures during sustained workloads. It also fits builders wanting ARGB lighting and real-time display data. Systems with limited clearance around the DIMM slots or without a spare 9-pin USB header should consider simpler passive heatsinks instead.
Cooling Capacity and Limits
Three TL-B4010 fans deliver 4.48CFM each at 1.37mmH2O pressure while running as quiet as 16.9dB(A). The assembly measures 153×46×57.7mm including fans. It handles heat from high-frequency DDR5 and heavy overclocks, but extreme voltage runs or multi-kit populated banks may exceed the airflow headroom.

Questions about this item
Does my motherboard need a 9-pin USB header for the MC-3 Digital display and TRCC software to work?
Yes, the digital display power and data communication run through a motherboard 9-pin USB header, so that connection must be present and complete before installing the TRCC software.
Will the 153×46×57.7 mm clip-on cooler clear tall DDR5 heatsinks on adjacent slots?
The cooler clamps from both sides of the memory modules and its 153 mm length spans standard desktop DIMM spacing; verify your specific module height and slot layout against the 46 mm width and 57.7 mm depth before ordering.
How can I confirm the three TL-B4010 fans are spinning at the correct speed after installation?
Connect the 4-pin PWM connectors to the motherboard, then monitor RPM in BIOS or TRCC software — each fan should report up to 4500 RPM ±10 % under load.
