Finally I managed to complete my ram cooling setup. So here is

 

2x512MB TwinMos CH-5 with heatsinks

 

2x 80x80x15mm Zalman OP-1 fans on the plexiglass bracket

 

Everything installed in the Chieftec Big Dragon case:

 

The Chieftec case prior to the finished ram cooling with custom plexiglass

side (the plexi still has the protective foil on it - this will be removed once

I cut the 120mm fan holes in it)

 

 

 

What is letf to do:

- lap Pentium 1 heatsink to replace the NF4 cooler

- lap ThermalRight SI-120

- cut 2 120mm holes in the plexiglass on the side of the case (one directly on top of the SI, the other over the videocard)

- cut out the front of the case and replace 3x80mm fans with 2 120mm fans

- mount the HDD with Zalman HDD heatpipe cooler on the front botton of the case

Bladesinger7x.. Now thats some sinkage !! hehe..

 

I did that to a pair of bh5 once.. but for some reason they died..

 

How did you attach the sinks to the ram ?

[Bladesinger7x]

The heatsinks already came with the thermal tape attached on the flat side.

They are sold for ~ 4$ for pair. So 8 heatsinks needed for 2 sticks.

 

 

A while ago I put copper heatspreaders on the ram but they were not really

flat and some chips did not make contact with the haetspreders and it was impossible to repair that so I ripped the suckers off and now I put these

babies on.

 

These heatsinks are perfectly flat and they hold I alredy had one like these installed on my NF2 system and when I got a 512MB stick (along 2x 256MB) I had

to remove these heatsinks. Not that was an hour and a half job. I'm sure I could have ripped a chip or two out if I just pull them off

 

The downside of these heatsinks is that I had to cut a portion off in order to

avoid tuching capacitors in the upper right corner (I cut both heatsinks if I will

exchange the sticks) and dual chanell in the orange slots is a no go because

of the clearence issues. Only upper orange slot can used. Bit I prefer yellow

slots anyway.

Here is my mod just in case:

Here is the link to the cooler:

I modified it with these Delta fans (each at 16cfm)

It looks and cools great!

Here is a pic of it installed:

teh crab

 

cheap and doesnt push 100cfm's but does the job pretty well, is quiet, and looks damn good as well.

 

and for those interested, my mosfets and my pwmic are covered with these

 

nice chrome look, decent performance and definitely better than nothing. thermal taped on.
