Ram Waterblock

[zia]

Looking to overclock my ram but on air am having issue with temps giving errors when testing stability, any thing over 40*c throws up error in tm5, have 2 fan blowing on ram sticks
using gskill 6400 kit on apex encore
Should i buy better ram sticks?
Is it worth water cooling the ram?

maybe just have a fan over the ram for now and see if you get better results.

40c is pretty low for errors, the water in my loop easily gets up to that if I let the fans runs quietly.
Especially in summer when ambient can be over 30.
Watercooling ram is also done for looks, not for performance. A fan on it should archive similar.
It works via a metal heatsink on the sticks that then sits against a block, so it isn't that efficient in heat transfer, normally. I think maybe koolance did a block where each stick was cooled individually directly but that might only work with a gap between slots being used.

Overall, I'd probably look for better ram if 40c is giving errors.
