If there are any better options please let me know Thanks in advance The_Freeman Your solution preview Close Enable email notification of this thread By posting on this site, I confirm I am over 13 years of age and agree to abide by the site’s rules.

But for coolness factor, those are definitely cool. They will work too. menetlaus October 17, 2014 2:07:37 PM DDR3-1600 ram shouldn't need big heatsinks, especially not if they were excluded at the time of purhase. Why do you want to keep the RAM as cool as possible? See all answers
