Recently I have noticed that when my RAM is cooler....my FSB is able to go up considerably! I am just wondering if anyone else has attempted to cool their RAM and if they have seen similar findings. I know this seems logical...but I just never hear about anyone cooling their RAM actively....

Thanx.
 
I think people do it all the time, using either a RAM heatsink or h/s/f combo. Didn't think it would help with your fsb tho...unless your going into space with it :D
 
Well...I noticed a difference. When I had a fan blowing on the sticks...my FSB was 10 - 15Mhz higher than without.

Maybe its just me.

^o^
 
Phase-change -40c ram cooler is the only option. Ya heatspreaders are the best solution right now. I am sure we might need it when DDR2 comes out.
