Ram Heatsink

[0ver]

Hello fellow pc enthusiasts, I just placed an order for gskill 16gigs aegis @ 3Ghz for a ryzen 5 1600 build, which will be used for streaming/gaming and programming.

From what I have seen that was my cheapest and fastest choice. 

One thing that I noticed is that they have no heatsink just a sticker to make it look fancy.

My question is this, does it matter that it does not have a heatsink?

I will probably overclock my CPU (stock voltage) but certainly not the ram sticks. 

Will I see any difference is it worth to get an after-market or it's just cool?

Note I have unrestricted airflow by 3 120MM fans at the front of my case and 1 at the back.

From what I have seen it does not really matter due to low voltage they are working on but still a bit of input on your experience would be nice.

 

Thank you in advance -Jason.

DRAM doesn't use enough power to make heat sinks a necessity. I would wager even on higher end ones it doesn't use enough power.

 

So don't worry if the module has a heat sink or not.

Thank you for the fast reply, Alright thank you again!

ye RAM doesn't need heatsinks. Any heatsinks out there is just for marketing purposes. I doubt it'd make a difference in performance.

I had a ram fan (it came with the ram) and i noticed its far louder than cpu+gpu (Noctua nhd15 + gigabyte g1) so never ever ever plug a ram fan (unless you love formula 1 sounds)

I do love em but yea since you guys here told me as well about it not going to bother or sweat, now I am just waiting for the ram and hopefully build my pc.

They are mostly there for show . Ram doesn't use nearly as much power it would have to to require heatsinks. Plus ,area on DIMM slots is huge anyway

Mine gets hot enough to burn to the touch so I cool my ram. Just easy for me to throw it in a loop. Normally have a fan directly over it as a case fan only hits one stick.
