On Board RAM

Hi all,

 

So. My new laptop is arriving on Tuesday and I've been looking at what new thermal paste I'm going to put on it when it gets here. While I was watching a 'teardown' video of the same model on Youtube, I noticed that the on board RAM was just sitting there, no cover, no shield and with no cooling solution at all. Seeing RAM bare like that is not an uncommon sight, specially when you think of desktop RAM. In a Desktop though, the motherboard is cooled by the internal temperature of the case and this brings down the temp of the RAM. Realising that this wouldn't be the case in the Laptop, I started to see if there was any universal cooling solution for on Board RAM on a Laptop. This search has not been met with success, other than thinking about just putting some cooling pads right across the top of them (although this seems a bit on the Genky side).

 

Do any of you know of a universal cooling solution for Laptop Mobos and RAM that don't have cooling?

 

thanks,

PS. Laptop is Asus Pro B9440

There is no solution because its not needed. Even the desktop ram sticks only have it for looks. It really does not serve any purpose.

Hi!

 

Anything that creates and holds heat in a system will need to have it dissipated somehow. In a computer, specially with faster more channeled ram, RAM being used constantly can get quite hot. The debate on "If it's needed or not" aside, I would still like to see if anyone has seen anything or come up with anything.

 

thanks for the reply!!
