thanks pal...funny thing is im always on that site, I have been looking in the wrong places, I was only looking at fans only- just ordered it, YES things are going my way- w/ a whole lotta help

 

Lp531,

I know this doesn't relate to me directly but I appreciate your knowledge and willingness to help others here. You don't seem to mind going out of your way to resolve problems or locate products. Your kind is rare a few inbetween. I solute you.

 

@Lp531,
Here, here, I completely agree. Thanks for your patience and knowledge. BRAVO!!

BOT. lol. My new board should be here by Wednesday and you guys might want to be logged off so you don't have to help. lmao.

No problem...I have got lots of help on the strangest of things from this site...Just want to contribute...

 

here is something i dont understand. dell sell an XPS desktop (The latest gaming one) with 4 gigs of ram, dual layer dvd rewriter ,2 500gb hdd at 7200RPM, a dual core proccesor which is 3.4GHz, a 512mb graphics card, and an nvidia sound card. it costs £5000. i saw a used dell server PC with 8GB ram, 4X proccesors that are 2.4GHz each, a good sound card, a 512MB graphics card, 3X 146GB HDD's, and a dual layer dvd rewriter. for £1000 with postage. why not just get the server? i mean its big, but not much bigger than that big fat XPS!

 

Do you really think this will make a differance:

Dang herrick you building a refrigeration unit or a computer. lol. Man are you still having serious heating problems? If you need them I guess they would help, they look impressive. I really don't know but I had to ask what your doing to need something like a RAM cooler?

Have you gotten with Lp531 or Mort81 to look into your over-heating problem? Just curious. Hope you get things worked out.

@ greensman

LOL, and more LOL....

My temps are OK...Idle at 32C have not put a load on it yet... after I put my new up grade side panel on my case [250m fan] http://www.directron.com/a2400.html
should be doing fine....link states out of stock- BUT its on its way thanks to Lp531 and others they have invested their time and have been very patent that is a teaching skill that alot of people loss after time that hold a gift.

I have no life bro... all day at work I deal with major issue that people are going though...My fresh breath of air is looking at cool computer parts- [well and my beliefs] BUT ran across this and had to ask?

I plan in the future to run four monitors [have two now] This will help me in my hobbies plus my studies...

When your as new as me... its better to throw the link out, before the cash LOL

Sense Ive been here at AD Ive learned much... AND one of them is THE COOLER [temp wise] THE BETTER...

 

With most ram...if you remove the heat sinks...you are voiding the lifetime warranty...I doubt if you need anything like those monsters...

The 250mm fan that your putting on the door should take care of your memory cooling just fine...

 

the understatement of the week lol

yeah you should be fine herrick

 

How do I know if I am getten the most out of my memory? I see people posting numbers... I just put mine in..XP will only read so much- but what can I do to to ensure my ram is at its best?

 

"With most ram...if you remove the heat sinks...you are voiding the lifetime warranty"

mine did not come w/ any... I put some on from directron.com.

There were no labels...was it generic?..

 

see sig.

 

Did you tape to stickers...or remove them?..

 

Not sure what you mean...But there was some [it look like it at least] double sided tape, I did not remove the plastic... did not make sense to stick something to my memory that has heat-
