@ Five-Seven - extremely nice, very clean

My new Crucial Ballistix with HR-07



During Memtest86+

i think the normal heatspreader are enought for my ram out of the workstation

trimmings: hynix d43

- 180 @ 2-2-2-5
- 200 @ 2.5-3-2-5
- 220 @ 3-4-3-7
- 240 @ 3-4-4-8

more doesn't go, even 2.95v don't help there.

Tommy, those pictures are pure computer sex. Now you just need a Thermalright CPU heatsink and youre set with the rest of that Thermalright gear. Very nice.

Hehe, Thx . A Thermalright CPU-Heatsink will come soon

[Sparky]

Tommy you don't like thermalright do you looks really good!

[Tommy_Hewitt]

I like the company, which builds the best coolers........an atm this company is Thermalright

[lawrywild]

Don't forget your Thermalright Mosfet coolers

[Tommy_Hewitt]

It's on my "to-buy-list"

X1900XT + HR-03

Just as you like

What's the industrial (commercial) name for this foam?

[Origin_Unknown]

sound dampening / sound deadning

[tiborrr]

Thank you, mate.

[Marco André]

But with sound deadning your temps will raise, right?

i'd say yes in theory but if you've got adiquate ventilation then it won't be "as" bad

RAM Cooling Extreme ...... atm they run at 575Mhz @ 2,28V

[lawrywild]

Need to get myself some HR-07s for my lesser clocking DDR2 kit so that I have them running HR-07s and the others running standard Nexus platinum heatspreaders since they clock so much better.

Then the plan is to line my Lian Li with Nexus DampTek, fit a HR-09 and Ultra-120 eXtreme or IFX-14

The quiet fans won't push as much air so temps can be higher because of that but sound-dampening material won't make temps rise.

The foam does raise temps slightly so you need compensate, the cases Steel walls or even better Alu walls help to cool the rig by conduction but sticking foam on them stops this.

Since the metal case isn't in direct contact with any heat source the cooling effect is minimal. If your temps are noticeably affected by putting sound dampening material on the case walls then you need better airflow

Did I state it was substancial ?, the fact remains due to laws of nature, if 3 cases and set ups were identical apart from 1 was plastic and 1 was steel and 1 was alu, the steel rig would be cooler than the plastic rig and the Alu rig would be cooler than both rigs.

Do you not seem to grasp the hot air inside case although sucked out by fans does actually sink into the cases inside surfaces.

In nearly every good site and threads here you will see peeps tell of slight gains in temps due to soundproofing material, and at the end of the day I DID state you need to compensate right at start or my post.

Whoa OK calm down, I wasn't attacking you or anything....

I never said that you said it was substantial, I was just using an extreme example. I know that warm air will warm the case, and the metal case will conduct the heat better than a plastic one, but I haven't noticed anything much worth mentioning in temps since the change could have been contributed to ambient air temp changes and all. I imagine though that maybe the effect is more noticeable in a small case than a large one?

If I'm wrong I'm wrong but I just never have witnessed it happen. Sorry...
