Ram Heatsink replacement

WatEagle · Oct 8, 2019

Hi guys, in my build I have 4 dimms of ram overclocked to 3000 Mhz. 2 Dimms are made by Samsung and they don't have heasink, the remaining are ballistix sport lt. Now I wonder where I can buy 2 heatspreaders to match Samsung memory with the others. I have checked Amazon, Ebay, Aliexpress and Newegg but I could only find rgb Heatsinks and HyperX Fury replacement.
Please let me know if you know where I can find them if it is possible. Thanks

Just buy 4 identical sticks and sell your existing ones....problem solved

Although a lot of ram heatsinks look very similar to each other, the largest majority of them either fit differently or are longer/shorter/thinner/thicker at some point along the body, and would most likely result in a very sloppy, combogulated clusterf*cked look anyways....

You are right mate. I'll do It thanks

Also worth mentioning.. DDR4 doesn't really get warm unless you're using silly voltage on it, the heatspreaders are almost purely cosmetic, so it's up to you what you decide to do, but functionally it doesn't matter.

Yeah I know but at this point since they're really hard to find I won't do anything

Remove the heatspreaders from the ones that have them already, and buy 4 matching heatspreaders so they all look the same. Those hyperX fury clone heatspreaders aren't much different from ballistix sport lt heat spreaders, so you'd get the same overall look.

Or you can go the cheapo way....

.... just for decoration only....careful though.....the tabs holding the 2 halves together tend to break if you apply too much pressure..(see the second picture.. top of the 1st ram stick)..
