Help! Memory Water cooling

[747546306]

Is it necessary to do water cooling on memory cards? When is it necessary or suggested to do?

Memory cards? Do you mean graphics cards? Or Memory sticks (RAM) ? 

[LionWaffles]

RAM, Graphics, or HDD?

I mean memory sticks RAM

No.

 

I mean, you can do it, but it makes next to no difference. and it definitely isn't "necessary" otherwise how the heck do they not overheat without it.

[747546306]

No.

I heard that if the cpu is overclocked, the RAM will heat up. That's why I'm asking.

Well the answer is NO. You don't need to watercool any component AT ALL.

my CPU is heavily OCed and my ram hasn't gotten noticeably hotter.

Welcome to the Forums!

 

While they get warm they don't get that hot if you want to go all out and watercool everything you can watercool RAM. Also there are stock sticks like the Dominator Platinums that can operate at 3Ghz using just a larger heatspreader.

unless you are using ridiculous voltages on overclock, the case cooling

method is pretty much all that is needed. the RAM coolers are mainly

for aesthetics and lend minimal performance gains on normal voltages

for overclocking.

Unlike the old days, even ddr3 at 1.65V doesn't need anything more than regular old fashioned heat spreaders.

Water cooling ram is never needed and almost never recommended (because it literally is pointless and only adds an additional failure point.

[Lays]

Na, regular old fashioned heatspreaders is plenty.  Most people only watercool RAM to make their loop have shorter cleaner runs, sometimes it can make tubing everything up easier.

 

Even benching at 2.1v on my RAM, a 120mm fan pointed at the sticks is enough to keep them about room temperature.  ( PS: Please don't put 2.1v through your RAM unless you know what you're doing lol)

you only water cool ram for 2 reason

#1 is for kicks

#2 you pushing stupid ammounts of volts thur it  for world breaking overclocks

if neither is being done the stock heatsinks are more then fine

 

also its not cheap to water cool ram at all if you have a 8 dimm board
