    Post your Pics of Ram Cooling

    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

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

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

    They look DIY to me. Skived from a chunk of aluminium with some CNC-drill maybe. Damn I wish I could get my hands on some machine like that

    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.

    The Corsair XMS4000 Memory is cooled with a pair of Lighted 40mm fans on a suspended rack.

    Do you mean that the screw wont fit all the way through your 38mm wide fan? If so, you can get longer screws at a hardware store...

    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.

    very nice Hilppa , 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.

    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:



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

    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.

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