premier69 Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 would any of you bet this to be a good idea for my next investment:http://kylning.com/images/170/677.jpgwould it have any practical effect on my computer?also what are other good ways to increase system performance?(no water cooling, too expensive)I have max. number of chassi fans and run 4x 256mb ddr400 i thought if i had dual dual mode it would be better.

Chaosratt Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 My ram came with those on them and they never realy get that hot, so unless you are doing some extreme overclocking they are not that usefull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treeman Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 I use a seperate 80mm fan on a "L" bracket mounted to an unused mobo attachment point. I angled it to cool the ram, and force air flow towards my video card.It's cheap, and works just fine!Treeman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Treeman said: a fan may do the job too: better AND cheaper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shun Di Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 Yeah, they have fans specificly designed for RAM cooling... Like http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc....tion=35-116-004, it's gotten good reviews... so I'd give that a try first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanoll Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 i didn't notice any effect. But I added 512 RAM and the Cooler brackets in one go....so.....yeah....I like my system at a nice steamy 28.6 C. Atleast that's what the Temp guage on the front reads.....but the mobo util for temps reads it as....47 C for CPU34 C for ChasisI've always wondered if 47 was hot.....

Drewdatrip Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 Honestly the Shims dont do too much in my experiences, unless your overclocking a fair amount.However the fans are much better tool. I have seen customers using 4 modules of 512 sticks in DualChan Mobos have continual rebooting and locking due to the fact that the memory nearly touches eachother with the metal shims...this creates a super hot zone and the memory con generaly not tolerate it.So if your going with 2gbs of memory consider a fan..however thats about the only time its truley nessary|Drew| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
