HOT Crucial DDR

Henry Rollins II · Jul 25, 2002

Yo all,

I hear people around here saying that Crucial sticks get very hot. I have 2x Crucial 512 Mb Reg/Ecc, should I get heatsinks for them? Any brand or type preferred?

regards,
Henry

You can get the thermaltake memory cooling kit from www.svcompucycle.com. It comes with everything you need to cool your ram.

I have 256MB PC2100 Crucial and it doesn't get hot. Only slightly warm. I don't think you really need them, unless, until you start raising voltage of the ram. But if it is stock, you don't need them.

I would have to agree with Mike K on this one, you really don't need them unless you are rasing the voltage.

Just call me Mike. I use them anyway because I got them free and they look cool. And I tought you were on vacation.

Mind if I ask how one goes about getting 512MB of free Crucial RAM?

First I have 256MB and I bought that, I get the heatspreaders for free, sometimes. I have a friend at the local pc shop and he gets me a discount. It is not exactly free but it is chicken**** money.

Hmm I don´t think I nor will or can overclock my new machine. But it would look c00l on those big registered modules.
