For all DDR3 SODIMMs, MiniDIMMs, and registered DIMMs, Swissbit offers an integrated temperature sensor within the SPD device as a standard. It allows permanent monitoring of the module temperature over the system management bus. By utilizing this feature, the system management can actually control the self-heating of the module in a more accurate manner than by using calculation methods for memory throttling. This results in higher useable bandwidth and avoids overheating of the module.
