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?

gam kuat bro

gam kuat? later wan cabut ram how?

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

It doesnt look any pretty to me now anyway
But which part u talking about using bluetack?

get some thermal sticky pad or something that called like that

Added on April 7, 2008, 10:11 pmBtw is that 12" fan supposedly for the ram too?
abit over killing is it?

what's the actual position of the ram? i confuse with the position if i know the position, i could suggest few idea..

T_T the ram cacat abit last time oc now need higher voltage oni can start...so now using 2.6v without oc...

so ram temp = can cook egg....

the tack is at the both fan blade(middle) of the other side, sticking to the ram

i let u see...it's for the HSF

u can try to use industrial grade double sided tape..the black one..that one really strong even in high temp...it will leave mark on ur rams once u remove ur cooler, but easy to be clean and remove...

if u have dawai bro, why dont u DIY a hook that can hook with the ram head closure?

i need smoething neat coz my cpu inside very very messy already...

find any aluminium u can get, diy ram cooler case to hold ur 2x40mm fans

hmm good idea...but i will use only a small piece, can tahan?

no prob...it can last longer than u thought.depends on the weight of the frame and fans....

see it drops again


Attached thumbnail(s)

too hot.. cant handle.. i suggest u to mod sumting from metal, dawai, or zink.. so consider safe later

Agreed Can oso use ur hsf fan hole to hook it if u use dawai Nice setup bro

where u stay? if near by, i can help la.

hmm..puchong...near or no...

wah.. too far

LOL... make like allngap ram cooler, but alu version.

how does the ram cooler look like mind showing ?

oni got thin alu..then the light also cover liao not nice liao

Added on April 7, 2008, 11:11 pmsimple 2x 40mm fan oni..it's in the pic...look at it..come on dude =.=

i mean the other side other cooler


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?

understood but ram slot where got hole T_T

I have 2 x 60mm fans on top of my Ballistix Tracers too and I just use zip ties but will change to double sided tape soon.

mind to post a pic of how u tie the fan?

have u try the 3m tape?

hmm..at first i haven't think of taping it..but now maybe i will try the black double sided tape

omg.. u put tacky on ur tracers.. i hope them tracers are not ruined.. tsk tsk

my suggestion.. buy ram cooler from thermaltake.. its like a crab/ketam thingy.. clings onto the sides of ur ram slots nicely

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.

or maybe just buy the wc for ram?

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
I have no options i use a vantec 80mm that blows thru my tracers...
I dun care bout the bling bling...

haha no worries the ram still look good as new....i need something cheap ma..thats why i DIY a ramcooler...if not i straight go buy lo

ask allngap to mod one for u

use allngap ram cooler, B.E.A.U.tiful

TS's ram cooler is just hooking 3x40mm together then slap it on teh ram lor

haha, i just gonna bash him/her

again you got it first

hahaa...so far working with the black double sided tapes...stick for hours without dropping...thanks to the dude who suggested it

me???

fu yo bro.. just woke up le? 6am..

no la.. not sleep

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.

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.

the best is use the high grade double tape(black color)
very very strong & can lift upto 3kg forces
ive try it b4 on my RAM(chipset) in the end, when i try to remove ramsink, my RAM went faulty.. dang

wow.. its really nice.. how much is it?

just pray that the ram wont kong anytime soon. But seeing that he is pumping 2.6V to the ram...i doubt so

btw, the "gum" wont be that hard to remove anyway, would be quite easy to remove.

the higher vdimm just because of the D9 isn't it? pumping too high voltage overtime casing the chip to sort of "deteorate" But then i might be wrong

That's right.
This is what i've always wanted my sifu to make a new thread about because his knowledge in electronics is far far better than me.

Anyway, nope, D9 doesn't need that kind of voltage just to run at stock speed.
The reason why TS need to pump very high voltage is because he used high voltage from the start, thus, he deteorate the chip, which makes the ram needing more and more voltage as time passes through.

One time, that ram will fail to boot up at any voltage, trust me.
TS should've RMA'ed his ram when he first see that his ram can't even boot at 2.2Volts at stock voltage anymore.

But now that he'd use some gums on the ram, the warranty is void, unless he can remove all the gum without leaving a trace of the gum on the ram and without a single scratch caused by removing the gum.

bro use the 3M sticking thing to stick ! that use for car emblems and much more !

shawty bro..
how much for that vizo fans? looks nice

sHawty, it was tack he used. Not whatever industrial gum or so.
Tack is fairly easy to be removed clean without any trace, no scratch, no sweat.

i din use gum, i just use the faber castell tack...something like plastacine but sticky...easily removed

Owh, good for you then.
Now i suggest you to RMA that ram before it's burnt.

Next time you want to use it at stock speed DDR2 PC2-6400 800MHz @ 4-4-4-12, just use 1.9 ~ 1.95Volts.
The ram should be stable at that speed on those voltage. Unless your memory controller is faulty, then you might want to RMA your board too.

Faulty memory controller could lead into unstable system too.
It's not 100% faulty, it's the same as the ram, it deteorates as times goes by.

hmmm thx for your advise...normally to get 1100mhz need how many vdimm? just a rough voltage

or u can get from AllnGap Ram cooler at a resonable price!

hmm now the ram cooler is fine...dont need to buy

I do not know as i'm not a hardcore oc'er, infact, i don't really overclock my ram.
I've always used my ram at stock speed.

I only overclock processors. [Before i retire from desktop PC world ]

did u think use liquid to cool ur ram? nice on
