RAM cooling fan installation

ukf · 06-21-05, 03:39 AM

Does anybody have a guide or something?
How do I go about installing a cooling fan over my OCZ EL Plat Rev2?

BTW... Is v1.1 of OCZ EL Plat Rev2 TCC5 or TCCD?

Help appreciated...

Here's a link from the cooling section. I've done a similiar install using Panduit ties.

Here is one option...one of my all time favorites, although it will probably take at least an hour to complete it, maybe a little longer. Tools required are most likely found in any DIY toolbox.

Wow... thanks guys.... awesome ideas... buuuuuuuuuuuut... I made my own... ram cooling...

If you have a Thermaltake Tsunami case and you get a A64 with stock cooling and slap it onto a dfi mobo like mine, then a 120mm fan will fit right over the ram in between the stock heatsink for A64 and the power supply... ill post pictures later

I twist-tied an 80mm fan to the right side of the bottem 2 bay drives. Not the greatest memory cooling but it moves air through them. This will only work if you have a stupid board with the memory above the CPU.

Heres how I did mine. String does wonders

Seems ghetto, but I get to cool my northbridge also. Note that my pics are really ugly as I don't have a good camera...spent it all on computer parts
