Hi so i purchased a custom loop set up a while ago and have decided to go air now i am wondering can i keep the ek ram block on and run the ram without proper ram heat sinks? I just like the look of the water block instead of plain ramsticks with no heatsinks as it looks kinda lame.

Unless you're running your ram at an extremely high clock it's fine. Only "gaming" ram really has fancy heat spreaders, and normal ram does fine without them.

Cheers,

Thanks for the reply i've come to an understanding that the ram will be fine without heatsinks but my main question is will the ek block staying on cause any issues that will cause more heat or something?
