designed and made it myself (you can probably tell from "thrown-together" look of 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.Quote:

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.
this is mine. :D

cause i need to use them on my dual channel nforce 4 cause the other modds can`t cool both 2 and 4 slot, with just 1 fan, but seems with you cool method it can be donde very well :toast:

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.Quote:

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

Sorta cools EVERYTHING down a bit... :D
Bloody hell, looks like the drum from a washing machine, or a jet engine turbine :banana:Quote:

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.

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)
Here is my system :D
http://koti.mbnet.fi/dani69/Muut/DFI...m%20cooler.JPG
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

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 fan :))Quote:

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.Quote:

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:
Here's mine :) coathanger rules! :D
:clap:
No words.
Haha thanks man, I can't believe how simple this is...and it works so well....if you are scared of the blank metal just cover it in tape (pic 4)Quote:

I can see the paperclip, but no coolermaster heatsinks...Quote:

I'm just using an 120mm fan that is blowing fromnthe right side of the board, over the mem voltage heatsink, and over the mem.. Keeps the heatsink from burning my fingers, and keep the mem nice and cold :)
how did you attached bracket there ? with whatQuote:

About 2000 rpm on this Enermax fan :)

Twinmos Speed Premium PC3200 (with the CH mem so it seems) @ 3.5v :)
At least the cooling is ok, so if they burn up then I'll guess I'll get a new pair :D
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. ;)Quote:

A bit off-topic, but how is cooling without the CPU shim going for you? What kind of temp differences did you notice?
Here’s how I cool my Ram, 2 x 120 mm Fans.
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...chmentid=31517
wow never realized how many diff ways one could cool ram....
i think ima start off with the rubberband trick first and see how that works.....thanx for the ideas everyone...

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.
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://img157.echo.cx/img157/9398/picture0293tu.th.jpg
Woah, check this out guys. I think I actually found a great ram cooling solution!

http://bs.brokenedge.net/cooling/ramcooler.jpgram cooler (never used; fan is also too small) :)
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...
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.
Here is my cooling for Mushkin LII :woot: :hehe:
http://img299.echo.cx/img299/4358/alle0qu.th.jpg
I`m currently working on this beast of a RAM-cooler.
The system is module based and can be used w/1, 2 or 4 sticks.
The bakside of the cooler can be fitted with almost ANY air or water coolers (including LN2 containers)

I think you should remove those stickers first :P.
Will do it when the cooler is finished ;) + Thermal-grease (Arctic silver ceramique, non conductive)Quote:

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 @ 3,5VoltQuote:

That looks really nice. What ram are u putting under it? Old school BH-5 or some newer redline?
OCZ VX PC4000 thats allredy tested to do 270MHz CAS 1,5 2 2 6 1T (with the stock heatspreaders and fan blowing on them)Quote:

how much would that cost cooling ?

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
WOW!! guess I have OCZ VX PC4500 then? :woot:
NOTE! All test`s is run in dual-channel and aircooling only
Those are some pretty nice WB's you have there artic...now I know 257 is nothing to sneeze at but where are you going to use DI :D
Im considering to cool my memos apart from 75CFM Air cooling, too cool them passively. Are there any heatspreaders that would do the trick?
Windows stable.. but not prime95/memtest stable :(

No use going sub zero for DRAM...
Unlike transistors, capacitors (mem cells) don't work any better in low temps.
@ArticOC:
Are those "Stock heatspreader - 249MHz" and "Custom cooling - 257MHz" results achieved with exactly the same bios' and timings.
nothing fancy, just a coat hanger
