Guz,

Is it tru that if we use a heat sink will improve ram overcloaking as I did some research most of
the overcloaker's do for better performance's.

What are the pro's and con's of doing it so?

ram sink doesn't improve ocing but more to improve cooling ur ram...coz when ur ocing proc n ram what u do is adding more voltage to them so more voltage more heat....that is when this heat sink come to reduce the heat coming from ur overclocked ram same goes for ur proc with third party coolers like cooler master, xigmatek, thermalright and xtra2....summore now performance ram alredy have heat sink on them alredy only value ones doesn't have it...btw u do no how to use google rite....

how about northbridge cooling?

there is tons of nb cooler out there like deepcool NB8...noctua,xigmatek cooler master all have nb cooler ...

interesting.......

Dude,screw all ram hs.
Simple solution:Fan over NB and ram,pwn anything passive on earth

very true indeed... plus with passive cooling, the heat gets trapped @@

But are there aftermarket sb/nb cooler for a specific mobo?..or u have to "mod" things?

its up2u.. i modded mine

dude heatsink on ram is not too important.. =,=

belilah ram cooler allngap... or dominator fan... looks nice on the rig

kalo nak look even more nicer.. ocz pun ada ram cooler bling lulz

agree with tkh,if u wan the best cooling without break ur wallet,buy ram cooler with fan is definately better than u spend a lot of money to buy a ram heatsink,a good ram heatsink does not come cheap Blow it directly with fan is the best and fastest way to keep ur ram cool,unless u are poisoned by the 'look'' of the heatsink such as thermalright

optional la, but ocz xtc should be enough

ha..ha..bought it..tried it..hated it...compare to other ram cooler xtc is more to a bling2 rather than a cooler...

plus the ocz xtc doesnt fit with a dominator under it.

yeah...i think dominator already has a heatsink implemented in its design. (kindly correct me if i'm wrong) yeap xtc more of a bling bling decorative cooler, so it is.

have ocz and allngap's ram cooler. difference in clocking for crucial ddr2 800 double sided as follow at same voltage = 2.20v
ocz - 1100mhz
ang - 1150mhz - fan @ half speed

for some ram kit , if we pump in over 2.1v we need to active cool it.
else the life span of the kit will be shorten due to overheating

for me,the heatsink depends on the quality, some use normal double sided tape only.the heat trapped inside the chips itself,make it even hotter and kill ur rams even faster. good quality ones will hv real thermal tape to transfer heat to the metal heatsink. but nothing beats allngap ram cooler in my opinion.just tht more noise due to the fans only.

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/732591/+60?hl=ram%20cooler.... refer post #64..thts my ram cooler i bought from allngap

for me better got heatsink & active cooling like AllnGap...it's better for overclock your ram

i wonder .. is AllnGap heatsink fan is better than Corsair Dominator's Fan .. anyone knows the results ?

allngap's is stronger airflow... dominator not as strong but still good enuf to cool ur ram

looks like im going to leave out corsair dominator fan when im buying the ram ..

but it is more stylish........

i sell my dominator airflow fan for rm50.
to me it's air flow is slow and produce much more noise.

maybe allngap ram cooler better, or just use a 8cm fan blow toward the ram, pawn all the ram cooler

personally...if u want to get decent performing ram coolers
and a bit better aesthetics
i would recommend ocz xtc...and change the fan with A&G NMB fans
but u gotta make sure ur rams fits under the XTC
huhu

noob cautions....
becarefull with the xtc's holder...its metal
make sure it doesnt come in contact wit ur gc's pcb
learn from my mistake

I moded a P2 HS and attatched a 8cm fan... No need any complications and costed RM10 only
