My suggestion is.

get few cable ties
tie 2 cable ties throu the fan hole on the left and right and tie 2 more cable ties throu the 2 cable ties. try to tie the 2 cable ties to the ram slot find some hole or something.

Hope u understand

You should use cable ties or double sided tapes, etc. I don't think using glue is a good idea. Btw, why aren't you running dual channel?

alamak that ram already got heatspread and light so its not "supposed" to use fan anymore.

shows how much u know....

those are ballistix tracer rams and they have a reputation of being extremely hot... this is due to the LED's controller chip. active cooling is somewhat required to achieve high overclocks on those rams with high voltages.

the normal ballistix (without LEDs) doesnt have the heat issue

@TS
dont bother sticking it to the rams ler.... ull just ruin the good looks of the rams.

cable tie the fans to something if u can like ur rom bays or something. or mebbe even the heatsinks 120mm fan. use ur imagination abit.

Yeah bro your right..i rather cable tie it because having to use industrial grade glu or whatso ever will ruin the looks and its not practical also whistling.gif

i'm using 2x40mm fans + 1x 40mm 'fan frame' coz everything i remove liao to show the light...

i have no idea how to stick it, so i used faber castell tack to stick it...but once my ram is hot, the tack will soften and my ramcooler will drop...

so what can i DIY to make it stay there?

Why did you use that gum on your tracers?
Obviously you've voided the warranty on your ram.

Crucial won't accept RMA when you've done that on your ram.
You shouldn't have done that in the first place. sweat.gif

Unless you have a way to remove those gums without leaving a single trace, Crucial won't accept your ram at all when you want to RMA.

Anyway, i know the reason why you need higher vdimm just to stabilize your system compared to when you first bought your ram. I don't know how to explain it, but i'll get my sifu to put on a new thread about using higher vdimm on hardwares.

By the way, you should've bought Vizo Armada and remove the fan rotor and frame just like what you did on your own modded ram cooler.
Vizo Armada has it's own clip on each side of the ram cooler.

Take a look on the picture below.
