OCZ XTC Memory Cooler

[Pete]

I spoke with OCZ yesterday and was told that this XTC memory cooler will not work with this memory, FYI.

I asked this in there section on er but non of them bothered to let me know what so ever so i really aperchat you informing us/me.

Did they say why it was the case that it doesn't fit or work?

anybody else got a feel for how solid/sturdy/well made the mounting part is? I'm interested in this thing for the mount and the fan brackets. I would cut away most of the fan grill, paint it black, toss the led's, replace the fans, mount it, and hook it up to a fan controller.

The Flex XLC built in heatspreader is too tall already.

Well.... I'm still waiting on parts so it's STILL sitting on my desk... I hope the reports of noise are all over sensitive ears!.. either way I'll be able to turn them down with speedfan if need be.

[lowfat]

If you have anyway to turn the fan speeds down you'll be fine.

Who the hell would liquid cool their ram with the XLC thing??? Its so ugly anyways...>|P ugh

[jetjaguar]

when will this be available in the US ???

Then make an option on rev2 of the cooler to have height adjstment as this will allow it work with others then! You do lots of rev2 rams do it for this cooelr

Could somone get some pic of how it mount on. I wana use one along with my flex xlc

Here is the OCZ product page with an installation diagram: http://www.ocztechnology.com/product...ocz_xtc_cooler

To use this type of fan-cooler with the large heatspreader on the FlexXLC modules would take a very tall bracket and would need to be a dedicated product.

[NickS]

Havn't read this thread but when's this bad boy available in teh good o'le US of A?

[jetjaguar]

To those of you who have already purchased the cooler, how much space above the RAM sticks does it take up? I have a SLI-DR Expert with an XP-90 and the heatsink overhangs some of the RAM slots. I'd really like to get one of these, but I am not sure if it will fit with the thermalright.

[NickS]

You can turn the XP-90 180*

maybe I'll get it just because it looks sexy. I'd rather have that sexy chrome than some random black fan...as long as it doesn't restrict airflow too much.

Looks nice. Didn't someone make acrylic brackets for DFI boards back in the day? I think they had space to cool the memory and also the voltage regulators. You could mount any fans you wanted.

That is the reason i bought mine.. just for the sexiness

FragTek did, but stopped producing them.

Can anyone tell me if this cooler fits with the Corsair Dominators?
Because the heatsinks of those mems are way high and I can't get the Corsair cooler!

Thanks in advance.

OCZ's attempt to compete Corsair's Airflow mem cooler (ones that come with Dominator series). Price is pretty well placed.

But as far as I can see, it won't be as effective for 2 reasons:
- Thin fans (low pressure)
- Grill is too close to fans, holes are small and sparse (no good intake)

I'm fairly sure the cooler won't fit on any RAM that has heatspreaders that are much taller than the sticks themselves.

[lowfat]

why would you need high pressure fan for ram? It isn't as if they have massive heatsinks to blow through.

[jll]

Thanks for all the answers. Is there any way then I can buy the Corsair Airflow cooler?

And without cooling what is the max voltage you guys advise me to use with my Corsair Dominator 6400C4D?

I've managed to do 480x8 @ 4-4-4-4 @ 2.3v (2.45 on bios) running a SuperPi 8m.



Thanks again.

i can get a hold of one of this locally for around $19CAD but my only concern is that its not plastic. which means that if it accidentally falls off....it will kill all my other components with it.

[cantankerous]

I am wondering if anyone has tried installing this XTC cooler on an Ultra-D with a Thermaltake Big Typhoon installed? I am wondering how this will fit and if it will be obstructed by the heatpipes on the Big Typhoon. I want to be guaranteed it is going to fit before I spend my money ordering one. I have my 2 sticks in the Orange slots. Thanks.
