Way to link to fuck all

Short answer: No

Long answer: No, buy low profile RAM or get a different CPU cooler. Just about everything from Cryorig features 100% RAM compatibility.

you cant simply extend RAM, because the wire length is actually a REALLY important factor for ram.

 

if i recall off the top of my head, with current RAM speeds the traces can only be about 10cm long before latency problems occur.

 

EDIT: i did a derp, fixed it

People could do a google search themselves before posting some things are so easy to be found.

What if you don't have time? Like at college/school? Or don't feel like doing a search? I do it alot of times. Actually, almost every single posts on forums could be done by a google search instead. But no, it's boring so deal with it.

Typing 2 words in google is faster than starting a new post.

Or lookup the manufactures website

Not really.  You then need to look through the results and click them, stay focused on the screen.

 

How can you look up a manufactur site if you don't even know if the product exists and or who it's made from?

Something like this might be able to be DIY'd on there to rise the cooler.

But if i ran into that problem id probably just buy a block of copper and put it on top of the CPU and use longer screws to hold it in place, Or simply cut off some of the heatsink.

I don't think there is such a thing. The signal doesn't carry far enough.

I cannot be held responsible for any bad advice given.

I've no idea why the world is afraid of 3D-printed guns when clearly 3D-printed crossbows would be more practical for now.

My rig: The StealthRay. Plans for a newer, better version of its mufflers are already being made.

Then stop bloody arguing.

 

end.

You start replying to me but then again people could do some research themselves this is one of the few forums that allows it.

I am on a lot of forums that will just delete your post if you haven't done any research yourself just to keep it clean and to stop discussions like this.
