Post your Pics of Ram Cooling

[Orker]

Can everyone post a picture of how your ram is cooled... Would be very interesting to see the various methods use by xtreme overclockers :)

Heres mine

[Hilppa]

Usually the liquid nitrogen boiling in the container next to ram keeps 'em quite cool :D

Just did a couple of aluminium ram-sinks (big ones) with my friend, I guess I could post some shots.

[Holst]

I dont have anything specific to cool my ram.

When im running day to day it dosent get hot al all (even at 3.2v)

When im benching 3dmark I have a 120mm sunon ballanced over my graphics card. This 120cfm beast moves so much air that everything gets some passive cooling. I think thats all I need.
If things are not getting above warm (25*c) more cooling is pointless.

[Orker]

Nice job guys...
Keep em' coming :)

[f00t]

this was my ram cooler about 1/2 years ago. just mde it from an old hd bay cooler/ cd-rom cases. worked pretty well

[Rabbi_NZ]

very nice Hilppa :toast:, are they copper?
I made some more basic alluminium ones but they weren't completely flat so some of the IC's made poorer contact with the spreader than I would've liked...

How are you fixing them to the RAM? If you plan on using perminent epoxie I would make 100% sure all the chips are the same height and your "spreaders" are flat.

On this rig I will soon install a 120mm fan on the side of my case over the RAM, should be enough I think.

[Bennah]

Dont have any ram cooling at such at the mo. Will have to when I get a booster. Not sure how a fan could be hooked up over my rams though. I'l have to give it some thought.

[aCidbAbY]

i just got my amd fan over the stick with a rubber=band on each side.

[thephenom]

the 120mm fan w/ my xp-120 blows onto the ram, keeps them fairly cool

[Elisha]

i have tweakmonster ramcoolers on mine. i'll have to see if i can dig out pics after i get home from work.

[aCidbAbY]

elisha what clock do you got going on that rig?

[TheTrebleKing]

i'm seriously looking into waterblocks for my ram so i can run a chiller setup on them, i know its extreme but we live in the land of the eXtreme and some nice clocks could be had :D


anyone else ever attempted this?

whats the most extreme cooling you've used on your RAM?

also a question.... RDRAM (Rambus) is rated as 800mhz, which is faster than PC3200 (400mhz), so why is rambus unpopular? does it perform less than DDR?

[Elisha]

elisha what clock do you got going on that rig?

on my A64?
with my xms3500 i could do 255mhz 2-2-2-11 @ 3.25v
with my EB i can do 3-2-2-10 @ 3.4v

but i haven't tried the xms on the dfi board yet.

max cpu clock is still around 2.4ghz @ 1.8v but thats cause i'm still on stock cooler.

Those sinks are machined to be pretty flat. Im still working on the way to attach those, but it will not certainly be thermal epoxie because I don't want something like this to happen:

http://www.takorautaa.net/img/uutiset/bh5_p.jpg

:toast: I tried to take off those sinks that were glued on, with terrible conseqeuences.

[cinders]

This is my effort I made yesterday afternoon to cool my ram and ddr booster.

I got some gutter pipe from B&Q and chopped it up with my dremmel and did some plastic welding with my old knackered soldering iron tip... : ) - the fumes get you real high as well for an added bonus! he he...

I did a run with a temp probe in between the ram with my standard cooling, which is a 120mm fan (you can't see) on the radiator which blows cold air over that direction. At 3.3v running memtest # 5 the temp soared up starting at 25 degrees and in the end I switched the machine off when it hit 60 (ouch!...)

Anyway, I re-did the run with my cooler in place and low and behold it maxed out at 35 degrees :D - I left it over night running and this morning it was 37 degrees - so it works well! (well enough for me!)

The pics are attached.

My "xtreme" cooling :rolleyes:

It's just my CPU fan that cools them :)

[mtb856]

I have a blower sitting underneath my ram..... works pretty well, my ram isn't even warm to the touch anymore :D The polycarb thing stuck at the top of the blower is to direct the airflow.... I couldn't get it to lean over enough to blow just on the ram, so I stuck that thing on there.

Here you go. This is from a new Kodak DX4530 5.0 mega pixels.
I know its a mess in there and its a old Inwin Q500 server case but it has served me well for 4 years. Had to cut holes for fans because this case was before the time of side panel fans. been cutting holes for side panel fan starting over 5 years ago for better cooling.

top 120mm fan intake, (cools PSU and memory section, front 2 bay has 1 80mm fan from Lian-li EX-23 Hdd mounting kit) taking air in,
side 120mm fan intake, 2 80mm fan through radiator in front to take cool air in, 1 exhaust 80mm...
2 80mm fan to keep memory cool. (Attached through piece of plexi glass to case).

[Orker]

Some innovative designs

lol ex.treme.. thats a great way to hold the fan in place :)

[Kanati]

Those with k8n neo2 and an XP-90/120 get free ram cooling from the overhang of the heatsink, and as cool as these winnies run, the air coming off of the heatsink is still cool when you have decent airflow (I use a 92 mm Panaflo ultra high).

[jlccarv]

this fan bracket is A-W-E-S-O-M-E!! where did you buy it?

It is stocked at many PC shops throughout Australia. :D

Its designed to fit 3 fans of any size (40mm-->120mm)...

[H2OGun]

How about this one? Man, they really take RAM cooling very seriously. :D But their OC results seem to speak volume about their expertise though!!

http://kubokubo.jp/diy/kubo-tec_pro/11.jpg

[_Eduard_]

I don't have active cooling, allthough I do have good case cooling and tidy wires, which helps a lot. Also leaving an empty slot between two sticks (if possible) is good.

If I had the tools/machinery I would have made one big alu block to fit over 2 dimms, dunno how I'd ever get it off though :P

Ah, thx FSA for posting the old pic of my Ramcooler! ;)

I designed it as a TEC-Ramcooler, just imagine a 80x40x5mm Copperplate and 2 40x40 Pelts (178W ^^) between the Cooler and the 4 Plates on the Ram. :cool: Havent made pics of it, I'm sorry.

Just watercooling the Ram with normal water as shown on my pics is useless, but chilled water or / and Pelts isn't! :D I'll post more of it when i finished my new CaseMod.

Well for me I have a 120mm fan right over the top of my RAM, it's kinda overkill cuz my DDR2 doesnt get that hot ya know.

Sorry for bumping this thread but I just couldn't keep this from you guys...

Required:

1: A good fan (preferably 60x60mm, stock Amd heatsink fan for instance)
2: Fan screws (large diameter)
3: Two elastic bands

I also saw another mod by a fellow EOCF member, it replaces the screws with tiewraps.....also great (props to Ozz81)

Rambus has 16bit bandwidth, DDR at dual channel has 128bit memory bandwidth. Now you do the math.

Using a 80mm Panaflo H and a wire clothe hanger (the kind you get free when you get your dry cleaning back). This is by far the best, easiest, and inginous RAM cooling ideas I have ever seen. Of course it is not my own, props go to Tim (from EOCF) and felinusz (from OCForums). I installed it on my spare board so you guys can clearly see how it works.

In that case I wander what kind of material you are using in your CPU HSF? :)

There is nothing to shortcircuit. And if you are really paranoid you can always wrap electrical tape over it.

[S!1v3rB@cK_Dk]

How good does it fit? cause i think that Zmarre is afraid of it moving around his case ;)

[hovo73]

It is actually very tight and dead stable. A really good fit. I have made it for my AN7 board with only 3 DIMM slots, that is why the wire doesn't go all the way round the 4th dimm lock in one of the pics. On AN7, it goes and "wraps" around all the DIMM locks and is super tight and stable.

[Reefa_Madness]

In that case I wander what kind of material you are using in your CPU HSF? :)

There is nothing to shortcircuit. And if you are really paranoid you can always wrap electrical tape over it.

In felinusz's original thread over at OCF it was suggested slipping a piece of shrink wrap over the wire before bending it, in effect, insulating it to reduce the risks should it touch something. It is probably a worthwhile thing to do, considering how easy it would be to do. Electrical tape works, but the shrink wrap, or even some thin rubber tubing, gives it a little bit of a cleaner, more polished look.

You really do have to give felinusz credit for that one...simple, but effective. In my opinion, it is just a little better than the rubber band because it elevates the fan for what I believe to be better air flow. The rubber band method on the other hand cannot be beat for simplicity.

I don't know if it has been shown here, but in one of the other threads a guy connected two 60mm fans together, then zip tied them to the fan on his XP-120, over hanging the ram. Perfect fit and also very easy and effective.

When i read this I feel honored! :) But I'm not Ultron from Kaltmacher.de! There you can find the original thread of the Ultron's RAM watercooler (http://www.kaltmacher.de/viewtopic.php?t=32848&sid=00d2712fb27449b342b44b0166363b43). But there also an interesting different idea of cooling the RAMs with water:

click here (http://www.kaltmacher.de/viewtopic.php?t=51962)

Not nice as Ultron's watercooler but cheaper and I think more effectiv. After my exams I have enough time to made my own RAM watercooler. Stay tuned ;)

[Vassili]

Does anyone know how he connected the copper to the memory CHIP/IC?

[BIG_DEADy]

Does anyone know how he connected the copper to the memory CHIP/IC?

He simply put pressure on the ICs with the help of the screws. He just put the copper on the right position and then he pull the screws on (I hope you can understand me). The whole modules carry the watercooler.

[Vassili]

Then there can't be much pressure on the IC's... isn't there another way? :)

[BIG_DEADy]

He wrote, that first he planned vertically screws between the modules, but then he saw, that they were unnecessary because the pressure was enough. :D

I don't have a digital camera (yet). So i thought I'd contribute by making a quick drawing. They're two 80mm fans lashed together with 4" cable ties. I then took two coat hangers and cut and bent them to size, and then strung the two hanger rods through the top fan holes. I then bent the ends into hooks and secured the fans so they hang from my case's (SX800) support beams and right over the RAM sticks.

EDIT: Oh yeah, forgot... this would work too if the RAM sticks were horizontal (DFI NF4). Simply putting one of the hanger rods through the bottom fan hole and re-arranging the fans so they hang horizontal. :cool:

nice design xenolith, gonna try that also :)

i did this yesterday morning as i was bored.
top and sides are plexi with 40 or 50 mm delta's on them.
wire clips are wrapped with electrical tape to stop any shorts from happening.
the case is the areo cool spiral galaxy which is the almost copy of the silverstone TEMJIN SST-TJ06B
with the windtunnel in place i dont have so much room for large fans so i fond this route much more usefull.

Wow man that's tight. Too bad one has absolutely NO use for 40MM fans when you
have 2x120MM front intake @ 95CFM each and the airflow is paralell to the dimms. :D

So thats my ram cooling. Plus the 7700CU's flow that lands conviniently over
the second dimm if I had one in. (it walls 47MHz short of the other stick)

I won't bother posting mine, I'll just explain it, I have a 80mm fan cut into my window which blows right over the ram, just the right distance for some nice cooling, (actually, I have 3 80 mm fans cut into it, they go right over the vid card/cpu/ram) nice clean look

Well, the airflow of a fan is not lineal but radial :P. What I mean is that the deadspot (below the motor) grows and grows and if the memories are belw that point they´ll get very low cfm´s.

I totally agree, but I think you maybe used the incorrect term? Radial is like radial fans, who has NO deadspot :) (eg. the Coolermaster Aero7 (http://users.pandora.be/zmarre/mod/IM000113small.jpg) fan :))

I don't know the correct term for this either, but it's more like 'diffusal' or something me thinks :toast:

[fareastgq]

while true, I have 3 in a line, not just 1, so they overlap which covers the whole board on one half basically. also, when the flow hits the board, it doesn't just stay in the spot it hits, it spreads, There's no way cfm's can not get to the ram. You don't need to move alot of air, u just need to move air. which is why they recommended at least a low cfm fan in the first place. You just have to strategically place the fans.

[Dani]

It's axial and radial ;)

[13oost]

thats my fan cooler, created from a coat hanger, as mentioned in the earlier posts...

i added the fan controler for the SF2 after i fixed some solder joints, and i took and wrapped it around the fan and have it so the pot is sticking straight up for easy access when inside of case... increased airflow for those hot days :p:

Very stable. I've used them to hold case fans, Fans on passive chipset heatsinks and I also used 4x to hold up 2 foot under cabinet lights in my kitchen. I had to move 1 of the lights and it pulled a layer of plywood off with the light. Just make sure the surface is clean of any oil or wax. ;)

When i read this I feel honored! :) But I'm not Ultron from Kaltmacher.de! There you can find the original thread of the Ultron's RAM watercooler (http://www.kaltmacher.de/viewtopic.php?t=32848&sid=00d2712fb27449b342b44b0166363b43). But there also an interesting different idea of cooling the RAMs with water:

click here (http://www.kaltmacher.de/viewtopic.php?t=51962)

Not nice as Ultron's watercooler but cheaper and I think more effectiv. After my exams I have enough time to made my own RAM watercooler. Stay tuned ;)

And what are the results ?

[evetS-]

ohh the ghettoness, but it does the job. Crappy camera...someone donate me a better one :D

[Judaeus Apella]

LOL, does it sway back and forth? If so, try cutting up a coat hanger and bending it with pliers. I did that on my old rig. :)

I'm trying to think of ways to cool my next rig I'm building this month and the next. Isn't there a set of fan clips I can buy that attach a 80mm fan to sticks of ram? I mean... common, someone has HAD to have thought of something by now and marketed it. Its only one of the most annoying cooling problems overclockers face....

I was searching and found this, and thought it was intersting. Its a colored model showing the problems with cooling ram when you use a perpendicular cooling solution.

http://www.comsol.com/showroom/gallery/663.php#

Maybe I'll try and think of a way to make some clips or something. I want it to look nice, because this rig is going to have a window with with UV lights and the whole smear.

[ShawnMcGrail]

Here's mine. Its a 70mm Delta, roughly 50CFM and its right above the RAM.
Just ignore the placement of the motherboard there, its a MiniATX holding the spot while I'm trying to fit in watercooling.

http://bs.brokenedge.net/cooling/ramcooler.jpgram cooler (never used; fan is also too small) :)

[DeltZ]

i'm wondering...isn't putting 1 80 mm fan ontop of ram not that great...cause..it doesn't effectively cool the whole bit of ram ? i mean...technically if one of the chips is too hot...then it could ruin the oc for your whole stick of ram? or is the overall airflow great enough to keep the whole lot cool with just an 80mm fan in the middle blowing vertically down...?

obviously 2x120mm fans are going to efficiently cool the ram down...

[Bloody_Sorcerer]

the 1 80mm fan's airflow spreads out alot over that entire area of my mobo, effectively cooling all of both ram sticks and providing airflow for the vreg area and some misc. hot ICs.

Nice idea, Might prove to be abit heavy. But you could fab a small support bracket that connects to the case or motherboard tray just to take some of the weight off the dimm slots. Maybe just a simple loop to support the hose's on a waterblock.:2cents: Post some Oc results. Good luck with it. ;)

The total weight of the braket/cooler is aprox. 300g, i don`t see any problems regarding this, the RAM-slots should support this if you use 2 sticks or more. I plan on using my 2 OCZ VX PC4000 sticks in combination with the gear. Hoping to reach 275MHz CAS 1,5 2 2 6 1T @ 3,5Volt

First results:

Stock heatspreaders = 249MHz CAS 1,5 2 2 6 1T @3,2Volt (tested for 24hours error free, 250MHz gives me errors)

Custom cooling = 257MHz CAS 1,5 2 2 6 1T @3,2Volt (3 hours of memtest no.5 and still running error free)

The gain at 3,2Volt is very high :banana: ..passive aircooled that is!

UPDATE: Been running the sticks @ 255MHz same settings as above but with only 3,1Volt memtest no.5 stable for over 5 hours

UPDATE #2: Now running 260MHz @ same timings as above and 3,1Volt (25 loops @ test 5 and still running)

UPDATE 3#: Pumped up the Voltage to 3,6Volt and got 276MHz/DDR552 memtest stable. At 280MHz/DDR560 I get 2 errors at test #6 each run, all other test is error free at this speed. CAS 1,5 2 2 6 1T

Have you tried any newer BIos? or have your OC´s been different between BIOS?
Question #1 No, havent tried any 70x-x yet
..and #2 No, havent noticed anyting special from BIOS 310 to 623

[Enz0]

What is That?

That's 2GB of compact flash in an adaptor.
That machine is only for SETI@home BOINC.
2GB is enough for FreeBSD 5.4 without X :)

and do all of those little orange heat syncs really help?
I don't know.
But I think it's better than nothing ;)

Nice, nice.
Is that a Titan Siberia Heatsink with a Thermaltake fan mounted on top? Well 120mm fans are just predestined for RAM cooling :) Just the best size for that purpose.

No , it's stock Heatsink :toast:

Hehe, even better then. ;) Definately a really good mod and judging from your OC results it works great, too.

I'm still elaborating on how to cool my RAM. The problem is that I'll be using huge tower heatsinks (Thermaltake Sonic Tower, Silent Tower and Tower112) which cover a bit of the RAM slots. That means I won't be able to fit a fan completely over the modules to cool them, thus I'll have to find another way. I was thinking about building a little air channel and using some smaller fans, but I couldn't decide on what to do exactly yet. We'll see (soon I hope).

But as I said, always nice to see simple and fully functional mods as yours. Best invested time vs. performance gain ratio. :D

Very good idea, it works even better with a K8N Neo2 since the mem slots are closer to the cpu socket. I have lower temps compared to stock 74mm fan even when the enermax is @ minimum rpm. :toast:

The side fan blows over the RAM, but if I get some RedLine or VX I'll need something better. I'm currently running Kingston 512MB Value :(.

RAM cooling - 2x120mm Panaflos. Coat hangers and zip ties, ahh just the way I like it :)

U could just make a duct from that fan down to the ram if there is space for it :rolleyes:

That is pretty much what I was thinking of doing. I would like it to be clear though, dont want something that looks ugly in there.

Keeps my TwinMOS UTT @ 3.5v 24/7 Nice 'n' Cool ;)

My ram cooling consists of my XP-90 mounted so it hangs over my ram, and blows over it. It works out well, because my XP-90 fan increases in speed when the CPU temp goes up. The SmartGuardian DFI Software does it. Usually, when the CPU is in heavy usage so is the ram, so it cools the ram and cpu under heavy load and light load :).

[Xyus89]

When I am home I will post a pic of my ram cooling.
I've a fan above my motherbord above the ram so it sucks al the warm air.
and opposite my cpu a fan what blows.
works quite well.
TCCD does +-280FSB.

How much air do those 40mm fans push like 7cfm?

Heres an update on my cooling. I'm going to get the Mushkin XP4000 and vmod my board to 3.3V so I can run 2-2-2-6. I used Meccano, and, well just look.

I love it.... 4 pieces of aluminum I presume? ;) :thumbsup:
My uncle makes machines of all kinds... a real handy guy, he also modified my watercooling fittings for me, maybe he has some aluminum left for me to fiddle with :D

Wow that's really nice :) What thermal paste did you put under them? How do you know it has good contact to all the chips ?

Hmmm. I've got a low-speed 120mm fan zip-tied to the tubing of my H20 setup. Any chance the vibrations might pose a problem, e.g. long-term wear or loosening the hose clamps?

I used normal silicon paste, these things don't need high end stuff. After all, they generate only 20-30W heat.

Today I took them off for the first time.
I noticed there was poor contact with few of the chips - some appear to be on slightly different height than others.
Bad contacts didn't have any apparent negative effects though. They (actually my memcontroller) max still out at 256MHz 3.2V.

Still enhancing my cooler.. Also solved the problem with high temps on the powercuircut for the memory (4V jumper). The copper heatbridge take care of that PS! More to come :)

ArticOC your rig is awesome!!! You easily have the highest clocked passive A64 right? Definitely make a thread in the SilentPCReview pic gallery (hell, go ahead and submit a worklog/article), I'm sure a ton of people would love your mods.
