Can everyone post a picture of how your ram is cooled... Would be very interesting to see the various methods use by xtreme overclockers
Heres mine

Usually the liquid nitrogen boiling in the container next to ram keeps 'em quite cool
Just did a couple of aluminium ram-sinks (big ones) with my friend, I guess I could post some shots.

I dont have anything specific to cool my ram.
When im running day to day it dosent get hot al all (even at 3.2v)
When im benching 3dmark I have a 120mm sunon ballanced over my graphics card. This 120cfm beast moves so much air that everything gets some passive cooling. I think thats all I need.
If things are not getting above warm (25*c) more cooling is pointless.

excuse the blurry phonecam pic
The Corsair XMS4000 Memory is cooled with a pair of Lighted 40mm fans on a suspended rack.

this fan bracket is A-W-E-S-O-M-E!! where did you buy it?Originally Posted by jlccarv
put your finger in the mouth, laughing crumbs keeps your youth... :banana4:
Yes, homemade to fit the MotherBoard mounting holes, suspended on brass sandoffs.
It is stocked at many PC shops throughout Australia.Originally Posted by burnhead
Its designed to fit 3 fans of any size (40mm-->120mm)...
I can't fit my delta 120x38mm fan thoughOriginally Posted by jlccarv
Do you mean that the screw wont fit all the way through your 38mm wide fan? If so, you can get longer screws at a hardware store...Originally Posted by ArcTan
I have same set up like you. But my fan is 90mm. I am using stock CPU cooler. If I want to change to somthing bigger than the stock cooler, I have to try to adjust my Zalman bracket. Now my RAM maintain at 48 degree celcius @ 3.5 vdimm.Originally Posted by jlccarv
Mine is similar with 92mm fanOriginally Posted by jlccarv
wow thats sweet. pics of them installed?
Nice job guys...
Keep em' coming

this was my ram cooler about 1/2 years ago. just mde it from an old hd bay cooler/ cd-rom cases. worked pretty well
very nice Hilppa , are they copper?
I made some more basic alluminium ones but they weren't completely flat so some of the IC's made poorer contact with the spreader than I would've liked...
How are you fixing them to the RAM? If you plan on using perminent epoxie I would make 100% sure all the chips are the same height and your "spreaders" are flat.
On this rig I will soon install a 120mm fan on the side of my case over the RAM, should be enough I think.

Those sinks are machined to be pretty flat. Im still working on the way to attach those, but it will not certainly be thermal epoxie because I don't want something like this to happen:Originally Posted by Rabbi_NZ
I tried to take off those sinks that were glued on, with terrible conseqeuences.
Dont have any ram cooling at such at the mo. Will have to when I get a booster. Not sure how a fan could be hooked up over my rams though. I'l have to give it some thought.
i just got my amd fan over the stick with a rubber=band on each side.
the 120mm fan w/ my xp-120 blows onto the ram, keeps them fairly cool
