I've been searchin'...here, there, everywhere (via Google). I cannot find the answer to one question:
Q: Whereas these new version Silencers have facility to cool the ram chips (copper on one side, and the aluminum piece on the back...should any TIM be used on the ram chips, or just run them bare, right against the metal?
Logic (at least mine) tells me that I should, but I can find nothing stating either yea or nay. If you put ram sinks on, they've either got thermal tape, or you use AS thermal adhesive...some kind of TIM anyway, one way or the other, be it temporary or permanant.
Thoughts? Opinions?
Thanks for reading.
