Look kinda familiar?? LOL, I still think it is sweet. I wanna try and work something like that up for the hell of it.

Yep, between the 2 places, there are quite alot of helpful and informed people.

does it cool the whole ram or just the one spot?

The_Neon_Cowboy · Jan 3, 2005, 11:53 PM

Ugly!

Iridium · Jan 4, 2005, 02:56 AM

Cool!

Easier to just install the fan I have, which is the Side Bar Fan. Blows air so strong that my wall paper behind the PC moves.

It sits just behind your RAM.

The downdraft pushes the air out both ends.

Ya maybe "ugly" but it serves it's purpose.. And it was free.

creative but dam ugly i've got a window in my case and i'd have to look at it....

also that only really cools the ram on 1 side of each stick would ove been better to use a 60mm or 80mm fan...

Geminiwave · Jan 4, 2005, 05:55 AM

funny thing is that its kinda pointless....even on the highest speed ram, the top companies like Corsair or OCZ have already said that the ramsinks are pointless. They are just there to look cool(and they succeed at that)

CDsDontBurn · Jan 4, 2005, 05:58 AM

the more stuff that they have, the better at selling. RAM sinks are really cool too.....especially like Corsair XMS PRO that has LED lights

.

Dark Lord · Jan 4, 2005, 06:17 AM

my kingston hyper-x looks damn cool with those bright blue ram sinks.
do i really truely need them? no probably not, but they just look so freaken cool

CDsDontBurn · Jan 4, 2005, 06:20 AM

what looks cool is my MoBo, video card, modded PSU, and case fans under my black lights

Nicky-chan · Jan 4, 2005, 11:05 AM

Wow thats cool but ugly but free and yah im poor so the cool and free wins over the ugly also the efficiency. I made my self sorta a same contraption ecpect large fan blowing on the ram insted sorta. But the ram is icy cold. =P

Yes it would be.
But to be honest, I don't have all that much space to put a fan that size in there. I was going to "ghetto" a chipset cooler fan too. But I figured that my blower fan that is attached to the side cover, would cover the outsides of the ram adequately. This little blower fan is just thin enough to not obscure the air flow from the side fan and cover the area in between the sticks of ram where it would have a tendency to build up heat from lack of air pressure.
