Kinda like the thermaltake active coolers except this one doesnt clamp around the individual memory sticks sideways but rather it clamps across all three/four of the dimm slots lengthwise and is powered by (i would imagine) a 12v molex

Hey Praetor. I've read up on this growing thread some, and have decided to ask something completely off topic! :p I currently have PC2100 512MB of RAM. It almost sounds funny to compare that to the rest of my system components, Athlon 64 3000+, ATi 9800 Pro, 320 GB of hard drives, etc., etc. Nevertheless, I'm in the market for RAM. I've seen so many choices, and I've even asked this question before at one point. I mean there's mushkin, ocz, just so many. I also had another question, what exactly do the latency numbers mean, and what advantage of overclocking ram is there? Do those 10 dollar heat spreaders really work?

Hmm, I didn't expect someone like you to be so rude. I guess we're all disappointing at times. Maybe if you read the whole post, you wouldn't quickly add a threat to ban me. Look at the last posts, so how the concept of these don't really relate to ram cooling. But I asked about heat spreaders, hmm cooling, which does concur with said thread topic, "Offical PC Cooling." Now, maybe I was a little off with recomendations of RAM, terribly sorry but mistakes happen. Ohh no..hope I don't get ban for this.

LOL not at all although a new thread would be appropriate -- Other PC Hardware is, as of yet, devoid of multiposting, offtopic posts, piracy and other forms of foruming stupidity -- if i come across as harsh its only because I intend to keep it that way. This place is 'clean' -- and its gonna stay that way :)

The thing about copper heatsinks (and copper as a material) is that it recieves heat very well and holds it very well -- its the getting rid of part that copper isnt so great on -- which is why complete copper heatsinks should be accompanied by super-fans. Otherwise, a combination of Copper and Aluminum is preferable as aluminum doesnt lose it's efficiency as fast as copper does

I just got this monster in the mail today, a Thermaltake Polo 735:
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=35-106-042&depa=0
This thing moves some serious air and is very, very well built. It comes with hardware to fit K8, K7 and P4 as well as two different speed controllers, one that fits in a 3.5" bay and one that fits in an empty PCI slot whichever you prefer :)
My killer sig came courtesy of bb "El Jefe" mayo.

Yep.... but it works well because it's got a monster fan on it. Regarding my comments about the efficiency of copper, heatpipes work because of the sheer quantity of copper in them :) ... personally considering the DIY Tower 112 with two Volcano12 fans on it :)

Side-intake is a good idea if the air isyou are bringing in is relatively cool and the internal temperatures are relatively cool. Now if the internal temps are hot you're probably better off evacuating the heat out of the box :)

Prolly wont make a difference. Sonething you might be interested in is to mount something like a Silentboost fan and then attach a Volcano fan to it as well... the silentboost allows for side-intake while the volcano force-feeds the top :)

Ok a silly question. I just received my P4 3.0Ghz processor in the retail pack with a Intel Heatsink and fan. On the bottom of the heatsink and fan where the copper area touches the processor there is a gray clay square thingy on it. Am I suppose to take that off or leave it on. Also where can I please get advice on applying thermal paste between the cpu and the heatsink/fan. I dont know how much or where. Thanx

Not sure as Im an AMD guy but isnt that the thermalpad/paste? If so, leave it on... you can scrape it off and put your thermal paste on but make sure its absolutely clean

Ok, i dont think this has been answered yet, but i am about to get a Athlon 64 3200+ and i dont have a case or anything as of yet as i want to have something reletivly low maintanence and semi-quiet. As too cooling, what would be a good set up for a system with an ATI 9800pro, CPU as above and a couple of 7200-rpm HDDs. It wont be over clocked and nothing fancy will be done to it yet, but it needs to be medium to low budget, $200usd would be good! This is just for the fans and heatsink and stuff. Case not included in budget, but a good suggestion for an ergonomic and well designed case wouldnt go amiss. (oh, the only requirement on the case is a front panal that locks) Im thinking Cheiftech, the entry for us nubies. Thanks to anyone with an idea!
It's not where your running to that matters... It's what your running from that counts!!

Hamboner, www.arcticsilver.com has excellent detailed instructions on removing the thermal pad and preparing the surfaces for a thermal compound. Check it out , jv

This address is the page with the images and instructions. It may save you some reading and searching. Good Luck
