Suggestions for Ram cooling please

D007 · Nov 1, 2024

So yeah, overclocking my ram and it is running pretty damn hot in Anta777. lol. It’s stable in most tests but once it hits that 75C, it starts shooting errors.
Obviously, I should not be letting my ram hit 75C. Lol.
Can somebody give me some suggestions on really effective, tested heat sink upgrades or if I should redo the paste, and can I use liquid metal?
I bought a cooling fan for it, but I would like to do everything I can.
2x32 (64gb) Gskill 30-40-40-40-96 6000
OCd to 6600 30-38-38-38-66 with tightened sub timings.
Dram @ 1.46
TX and MC @ 1.35
Neither can be lowered or the ram is unstable.

Thank you very much.
NOTE: Not willing to sacrifice the aesthetics of my PC. Put waaaay too much effort into this lol.

It simply needs airflow going over it. Whether it is from intake fans in the front or a top fan intaking over them it doesn't matter. Turning off RGB lights is good for 1-2 degrees C.

DirtyDingusMcgee · Nov 1, 2024

Jonsbo (and others I'm sure) have these twin fan mounts for ram cooling. Since you are using liquid cooling for cpu, shouldn't have any clearance issues. These have been around for a long time, but the mount on this looks a lot better than the old style clip-on memory fans.

I get that, Thanks, but I was just trying to see if somebody had used some things or tested some different modules and found that others were more effective.

Drop RAM voltage to 1.40V and try again.

I’m digging that. Have you used one?
Thanks.

lol as I said. It’s unstable lower than 1.46. I’ve tested it. This RAM runs normally at 1.4. It’s overclocked and the timings are tightened. But Thank you.

DirtyDingusMcgee · Nov 1, 2024

I have not used this exact one, but i like Jonsbo stuff well enough. I've certainly used similar things.

https://www.jonsbo.com/en/product/AirCoolingRadiator/memoryheatsink.html

There are a couple different models.... The NF-1 and the NF-2

They mount a bit differently from each other.

They are not expensive (like 20 bucks on newegg). Worth a shot.

Bones · Nov 1, 2024

Well.....
If you're desperate enough you could always try what I did last week.

DirtyDingusMcgee · Nov 1, 2024

Same principle :toast:

just a bit less extreme

I found this one on Amazon, getting it tomorrow. Jonsbo had up to 9.1cfm.
This one has 13.5. Ram cooler on Amazon
But thank you for the direction.

Anyone test this?

get a spare 120mm fan and point

Can’t do that, however, much I would like to, it would make the aesthetics of the inside of my case look like crap. Lol

You know, I just thought of why your ram is running so warm. G.Skill does not use a thermal pad on the PMIC, which is next to where the spd hub/ram thermal sensor is.

68Olds · Nov 1, 2024

Here's a simple (you can call it ghetto if you wish) solution, 80mm fan & a wire zip tie...

I like where your head is Sneeky.. Suggestions?

Remove the heatsinks, put pads on and replace the heatsinks?
Suggestion on type of pads? Liquid Metal, paste?
Will they still fit?
Would I have to mess with the RGB strip on the memory?
Any danger to this? Lol
Obviously I should heat it to get the paste more malleable?

Well, technically you could install a thermal pad, but that means taking a chance of killing the kit when pulling the heat spreaders to do it.

I'm gonna be real blunt here, but if you want to tinker with DDR5, my belief if you got the wrong ram. 64gb is typically dual sided. That adds a bunch of heat many here do not see on the regular.

Do you need 64gb? Could you deal with 48gb kits?

I have 2 now. The mounting solution is the best I've seen so far. I would have liked to be able to adjust the height. I suppose one could use different height standoffs or cut and retap for the best fit height to the ram modules.

You’re making me cry. Do you want to make me cry? :cry:

But I game in 4k. Is 48gb future proof?
I have 2x24gb sticks of 8000 but couldn’t get it stable. From Microcenter.

563882

G.SKILL 48G 2X D5 8000 C40 TRGB B

Is that A die? Is there a better ram I should get?
Do you think I can actually stabilize it?
@ShrimpBrime said to put it into gear 4.
Would this be an overall better performing option for 4k gaming than my 6600 with the tight timings?

You could create a cardboard shroud to inject airflow from fan to ensure concentrated and directed airflow.

I literally just sat a 120mm fan on my GPU.

Ahhhh, now I see it lol.
You know, maybe if I went so big that the fan went from the top of the GPU to the top of my case fans that might not look too bad. As I’d be able to see the lights through the spitting fan blades. I wonder how big I would have to make that fan.
Or maybe two small fans stacked vertically. Lol
My GPU is side mounted so a bit different.

This topic is working out pretty well for me. I have tons of directions to go in right now. Thank you all.

I was thinking about getting a couple of these:

Thermalright TL-B6B CPU Cooling Fan Case Cooling Fan,6025,PC Cooler Quiet Fan,Black Ice CPU Fan,3200RPM(TL-B6B) : Amazon.ca: Electronics

But right now I am running my fans quietly, just wanted a little air over my ram, hate seeing them get to 30c+

Bro, my memory boots at 30 C. This stuff just runs hot in general. These 32 GB sticks are just hot mothers.

Bah, not available for me in the US on Amazon but I can look into other places/similar products.
Thank you.
