TropicalPreist Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 (edited) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16820226050 Mushkin Red Line DDR3 1600 6-7-6-18 1.65v 25mm thick fans instead of 38mm thick fans might still fit but it will be close. Then again a 25mm may not fit. Curious what you think about your Asus P6T WS Revolution motherboard. I'm currently deciding myself between this and a Asus Rampage II Extreme motherboard. The board works very well and it handles overclocking with ease. I would imagine the rampage series usually being the top contender but if you know what your doing the p6t6 has insane potential. http://news.ecoustics.com/bbs/messages/10381/546349.html <---food for thought. Cough *don't see rampage doing that* cough Edited August 31, 2009 by TropicalPreist Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TropicalPreist Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 hmm what if i mounted it vertically? My case has a exhaust fan on the top of it, so it would probably flow just as well? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rourkchris Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 That's always an option. It shouldn't effect performance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 RAM is RAM is RAM is RAM. Get whatever fits at the speed you need. As for the fans - with a cooler like that you really don't need anything crazy. Just make sure you have them both blowing in the same direction (push/pull) and you'll be fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats what i want to know. Is the direction i have the fan mounted, blowing air into the heat sink or the other way around? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be labels on the sides of the fan, but if there aren't, 99% of the time the hub of the fan is on the exhaust side. You've got it pulling air out and blowing towards your RAM. I'd suggest flipping it around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rourkchris Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 (edited) Most fans have 2 arrows imprinted along one side of the fan showing rotation direction and air flow. Look along the 4 sides of your fan for the arrows, it should be on one of the sides. Edited September 1, 2009 by rourkchris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TropicalPreist Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 (edited) Ok so got it all mounted in only thing i forgot to mount it vertically. So either i take the time to unmount it or i just find smaller ram size like these kingstons. so anyway here are pics! My temps sp far have been. 34,26, 35, 26. Neem like this all day watching mkv's streaming video and what not. When i had my Zalman cnps 9900led temps were around 43-44 idle so thats a huge drop! Thanks for everything fellas ill post a link of the re of the build in here in a sec.
