Done

Very low noise indeed, not had time to try clocking yet but so far they are worth the money as the ram is cold now.

how many slots do they cover? (and will they fit other types of ram?)

clone · 3 Nov 2006 at 09:39

One fan covers all four slots.
Im sure they would m8 as my ram had tall heatsinks on them.

whatever happened to the rubber band trick

perfectly adequate for ram cooling, even the most extreme ram will be cooled by this.

and you can use any old fan you have lying around thats 80mm or less

Cuchulain · 3 Nov 2006 at 12:08

I'd say the obvious problem there is that it's not cooling the entire ramsink.

cools BH5 at 3.9v fine tho.

its what seasoned users of overclocking call "no nonsense" cooling.
we dont get sucked in by hype and general tosh like the "corsair dominator"

simple.

superglue two fans together... job done.

when i had bh-5 i used a vantec spectrum card (those ones that fit in a pci slot to cool a gfx card, only cost me a few quid second hand.. a few plastic cable ties... = cool BH5

tbh i dont think you need much airflow to cool ram... well in my experience you dont, so i agree with tom in saying that a single fan and rubber band would do the trick.

i am all for 'blue peter' mods

Interesting, I might give that a whirl later.
