Ram's getting hot a nuff to cook eggs on

Duekay · Feb 23, 2008

Im getting temperatures over 50°C on my Ram is this normal, i can hardly touch them.
Should i get another case fan?

Duffman · Feb 23, 2008

that or some type of active ram cooler

panchoman · Feb 23, 2008

too hot.. will most probably shorten the life span of your ram.. probably wont last more then 3 months without active cooling.

What speed and voltage are you using? Put a fan over them or there gonna die.

50*C.... nowhere near cooking eggs.

Get an active RAM cooler, one of those OCZ fans or something that clip onto the ram slots.

fan is good. i just zip tied a 60mm above mine.

50C is normal... its 65C+ they go unstable, and 75c+ they take damage.

buy a dynex 120mm vrf fan and place it to blow on the ram. I have my dyne fan sucking cool air from the top of my CM690 case down on the ram, reduced temps allot, at 2.2 volts 4-4-4-15-2t its very cool, cooler than it was before i modded the ram for it.
