This cooler is similar like the one Corsair has. Read the reviews. It does cool the sticks nicly.

I use a 90mm fan to cool my ram sticks.

I'm sure it does it's job. Though it's job can be done by simply having good case airflow. You be the judge if the money is worth spending on an uneeded cooler.

Those are some amazing sticks right there, don't underestimate them, they have the same IC's as corsair's pc10000 ram, and can hit above 1300mhz with stock voltage according to some sites, get it before the price reises more, they use to be a hundred less just two weeks ago :? (dang you newegg and your random price markups :x )

I think you are drunk. :P He's talking about the memory cooler, not the actually memory. You are a complete idiot. :wink:

Same with me, especially because you can easily water cool it for even more insane oc's, but I think that 1400mhz is the threshold for ddr2

Yeah that XLC memory is basically retarded to buy. I think the highest memory OC is 1540mhz or something like that. I will try to find it, it's in the world record database somewhere.

What did you use to mount the fan on the RAM?

I have a 90mm fan sitting on a Main Power Connector 20+4 pin. Wierd humm but works. It is not screwed in anywhere just sits on the Main Power Connector. I never move my case ever so it does not fall off.
Bad Case Wiring gone bad.....
Here is the pciture.

Is that a Storm block? Looks like 1/4" tubing but didn't know you could use 1/4" with a storm. Kinda hard to see though.

Man for some reason it looks thin. Must be thin walled compared to my blue Primoflex. Thanks for the response.

What rad do you have and what are your temps? Pump also?
