Making cheap RAM look better.

[clementk]

I just made a post on how i made a I/O cover and then i just made some ram covers as i am using ugly blue and i wanted to make them fit in better as i need to get other ram latter to fit my build( this is just a temperature thing just becouse i wanted to do something and show its easy to do some mods and don't always need lost of money to do somethings)

 

ok so firstly i got a transparency paper/plastic and a measured the ram and made a test piece from paper and then i cut out all the transparency to much the size of the paper.

on the ram i only wanted to do one red strip so i put some type on it. and started to paint it red follow by black.

after this i then gently toke them off and started to add them onto the RAM to do this i used very small amount of silicon(as it is none conductive and it can be removerd ** WARNING ** if you use glue that is to strong you can rip the chips off of the RAM if you try to remove them again **)

then i added them back and now it looks a bit better for now will still be replacing them after i recover from the watercooling gears

Hope this helped or inspired someone to grab some paint and start to mod

Looks nice... Are there any performance differences with the transparency on the chips?

[Foxxer]

Brilliant !

[iain]

Really Cool Idea!

Elpida RAM...Did not know that it existed.

nope ram does not really heat up enough

lol yeah i got them from a old i7 - 860 Desktop that was around there and did not want to spend $100 just for look now so will get later when i have all of the res of the stuff

[ManWithBeard1990]

Aren't Elpida and Hynix the two major RAM chip makers? Anyway, I quite like them although I do object to the idea of having fake heat spreaders

Now that's creativity. B)

I think ebay has some cheap ram heatsinks for like 2 dollars a piece, however they come from Hong kong and therefore take forever. There is also more expensive offerings from EK, the monarch heatsinks cost like 15 when on sale, and they are sexy. But your idea is brilliant, couldn't have thought about this myself. 

[Prestonification]

Yeah but you can't beat the creativity that went through that pc of his.

@clementk embedding pictures doesn't put more load on the server as long as the images weren't posted by attaching files with the Full Editor.

@WoodenMaker okay thanks for the info was some mod warned me not to embed 8k screen shots once.
