Heres mine
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.
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.

excuse the blurry phonecam pic :)
The Corsair XMS4000 Memory is cooled with a pair of Lighted 40mm fans on a suspended rack.

As promised.
wow thats sweet. pics of them installed?
Nice job guys...
Keep em' coming :)
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
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.
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.
i just got my amd fan over the stick with a rubber=band on each side.
the 120mm fan w/ my xp-120 blows onto the ram, keeps them fairly cool
i have tweakmonster ramcoolers on mine. i'll have to see if i can dig out pics after i get home from work.
elisha what clock do you got going on that rig?
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?
on my A64?Quote:

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:Quote:

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

Wow its look very cool with the molex and fans up there. Self made?Quote:

Simple and yet stunning looks. :toast:
I think you should do something relating to casemodding - It most certainly looks like you have some skills :)
My "xtreme" cooling :rolleyes:
It's just my CPU fan that cools them :)
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.

notice the fan "on" the waterblock (MSI K8N Neo2 platinum board) :D
I tryed 2 cooper sticks on DDR aircooled.
But now i have on the table home made cooper heatsink 1/stick 200g wieght. Picture will be when i install.

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).
Some innovative designs
lol ex.treme.. thats a great way to hold the fan in place :)
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).
It is stocked at many PC shops throughout Australia. :DQuote:

haha, that's cool...
I doubt that it is necessary
and its an A7V133 (or even an A7V) so its SDR :)Quote:

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
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

That's quite extreme isn't it? I think this guy (his nick is ultron5 btw, i think he's also active here) wanted to run chilled water through this block. :slobber:
Real "Deutsche Wertarbeit" (don't take me serious man)
ohh Froudeg has chilled BH-6 to -50 IIRC ;)
do a search, finds his homemade booster too. he is XTREME :)
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.
How has chilled water affected your RAM overclocks, any numbers?Quote:

Nicely done and welcome to xtreme :toast:
great pics guys - keep em coming !!
That's a nice water setup you have there, and I see we have the same case lol.Quote:

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)
Tim that's cool i like it :)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4.../ramcooler.jpg
two old 80MM fans + cardbord and duct tape. Electrical tape wire sleving :P
LOL that should do it. Simple and effective. I was thinking of hiring a slave girl with a Pea:banana::banana::banana::banana: feather to stand over mine.
lol... how many CFM"s would she push?
I tried 1 hour ago to put a 8cm ledfan over the booster and it made no effect... I should try to put a 12cm fan :D
How do you place this thing on your RAM?Quote:

The rubberband trick again. Brought down my idle temps quite a bit, from 33C to 28C.
http://img41.exs.cx/img41/5057/fanram2kh.jpg
I have same set up like you. But my fan is 90mm. I am using stock CPU cooler. If I want to change to somthing bigger than the stock cooler, I have to try to adjust my Zalman bracket. Now my RAM maintain at 48 degree celcius @ 3.5 vdimm.Quote:

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.

Nice, but I would be scared to death with that metal hanging some mm's above my mobo... Shortcircuitry anyone? :toast: ;)
In that case I wander what kind of material you are using in your CPU HSF? :)Quote:

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