Ram cooling

[oozberg]

I am currently not an "xtreme" overclocker, but I am working on it... I have a pair of Mushkin lvl2 winbond BH-5 sticks, and I am thinking about modding my NF7-S and increase the vdimm to 3~3.4v. :D

And my question is what kind of cooling do you need to cool down your memorys when they are running @ 3.4v. I have the standard Mushkin HS, but they can't handle more then 2.8v, or am I wrong?:confused:

they dont need cooling a 3.4v - hell they dont even at 3.8v but its a good idea to slightly increase stability :)

Just shuve a fan over the whole motherboard, perfect cooling for 20bucks ;)

I don't need any more than the stock HS to cool my memory @ 3.4v ?! That sounds great! :D

Just make sure you have good airflow over them, and you're good to go, an 80mm fan is perfect.

Good luck.:D

Ok, no problem. Now I "just" have to mod my mobo...

Ive been Running Mushy Blacks at 3.1 & 3.2 volts for a month or so now with stock cooling. No problems here.

BH-5 likes the voltage..been @ 3.2v for just over a month with nothing but case cooling.
