OCZ Value VX Active Cooling

[MobiusPizza]

I know that the OCZ Value VX does not come with a RAM heatsink as the Gold VX does. It would require active cooling (a fan blowing over it) to achieve stable running at high voltage

I wonder if these would do much help. Or possibly even eliminate the need for a fan blowing over it in well ventilated cases?


EDIT: Oops I realised I could have post this in the Case & Cooling forum instead. Sorry if that causes any inconveniences

Why don't you buy a heat spreader instead? You could get some from Thermaltake, and others as well. I use Thermaltake's heat Spreader on my RAM Sticks at home. They work just great. I rather passive over active as per you will have passive with some air moving around in the case from the case fans, so you get a bit of both.

Yeah
But I get the impression heat spreader are thin, light and not jaggy so the quality of cooling may not be as good as blocks of heatsinks.

Thermaltake actually offers an active coolingkit that has a fan built into the heatspreader. I would imagine it to be hard to find, but here it is anyways:

Hm interesting, thanks for the link. I'd just see if I'd be able to grab some from HK

I just put a 80mm fan over the 2 modules that is held by 2 rubber bands over the ram slots and is supported at the bottom by the amd heatsink.
