seems like a waste of money.. my ram doesnt get even get warm let alone warm enough to put a heatsink on it.

 

[chinman75]

that's cuz ur not overclockin it probably

I just got some. But I don't notice much difference. They mainly just look cool.

Memory gets very hot in some setups, especially where the memory banks sit near the CPU heatsink and where the air venting from the heatsink blows across the memory. I've felt my memory a few times when it was too hot to touch.

i think it's mostly hype. but if it makes you happy that you have the coolest looking ram on you block, that's another story.

It won't get "HOT" if case is properly COOLED. Yes its a WASTE OF MONEY!

DDR ram runs fairly warm (my DDR Ram on my Radeon is warm/hot to touch), but SD-Ram doesn't get hot at all.

I think a better way to cool a video card is to get one of those blowers that sucks air out of the case. It can be installed right in front of the video card ( just like a regular card). Or get a PC power and cooling card cooler that blows air directly into the card.

mostly these will go on your GEforce card, I know its going on my gf3

I do know that my Geforce2 was able to get to 390 memory with the heatsinks on; I had to pop them off for use elsewhere, and it will only do 366 anymore. I do want to try some active cooling sometime; if I think of it, I'll post results here.

a while back, someone said they did nothing because memory works with capacitors and not transistors.
