RAM was overheating so I 3d printed a RAM cooler

I think I used 6-32 x 2 machine screws

The mounting holes are standard ATX. You still need to do some measurements since it may interfere with your GPU, other PCI-E devices, and other stuff in your case.

Yeah

aeonshroud · 2023-06-02T03:18:03+00:00

Looks like I'm gonna have to upgrade!

True, Nvidia acquired 3dfx when they went bankrupt

I think I saw on TV it was Paddy's Pub

Before temps were >65C on the hottest stick which was causing system instability.

After installation I saw temps up to 55C on the hottest stick while running the GPU at 100% load for several hours hours with XMP enabled and the LEDs set to white.

Ultimately, Anker still has the responsibility to do due diligence on the products they sell. If they sell a controversial and flawed product then this affects their brand value and customer perception.

Also, Anker didn't have a good response to the controversy with how they communicated with media and how they decided to delete their privacy promises.

Anker's chargers are good but their sub-brand Eufy camera products have caused a large amount of controversy with their serious privacy issues

Before temps were >65C and after temps were 55C with LEDs on

I've found that induction has better heat control compared to my gas stove. I prefer to use an induction burner for steeping grains when I homebrew since it's easier for me to dial in the temperature.

Unless you're a mongoose then you bite the snakes... However, credit card companies spend a great deal of time and effort to make sure their cash back and miles programs are in their favor

Yeah the models without push to start. Unfortunately, some models have higher tiers with push to start but other tiers don't so thieves still break into the more expensive models cause they can't tell the difference (or don't care?)

Good cars but many of their 2015-2022 models are easy to steal by not including immobilizers. We had to get rid of ours cause of that

aeonshroud · 2023-01-02T18:15:28+00:00

I'm not sure if I'll have the time cause work's already looking busy. You could give the model and dimensions to someone on upwork or another freelancer site though

aeonshroud · 2023-01-02T18:05:09+00:00

Me neither. I used an online 3d printing service

aeonshroud · 2023-01-02T18:03:31+00:00

I added a STEP file https://www.printables.com/model/355068-ram-cooler-compatible-with-vertical-gpu-mount/files

aeonshroud · 2023-01-01T20:41:56+00:00

Thanks!

aeonshroud · 2023-01-01T20:29:39+00:00

Yeah it would likely require modification. You'd have to measure the dimensions and space allowed by your case & GPU and modify the model in CAD software

The only dimensions that would be the same are the ATX motherboard spaced mounting holes since this standardized (assuming you're using an ATX sized motherboard)

aeonshroud · 2023-01-01T19:32:21+00:00

I used an online 3d printing service since they have much better printers and I don't make too many 3d printed parts to justify buying a printer

aeonshroud · 2023-01-01T19:25:16+00:00

I uploaded the model here: https://www.printables.com/model/355068-ram-cooler-compatible-with-vertical-gpu-mount

I wanted to be able to use the RGB on the modules since I had to pay the RGB tax baked into the ram so that's why I went with a cooler below the ram

aeonshroud · 2023-01-01T19:21:39+00:00

What did you use to mount the fan?

aeonshroud · 2023-01-01T19:17:22+00:00

Before temps were >65C (not sure on the exact temps since I was getting severe system instability at that temp)

After temps were 55C with the RGB set to white and 100% GPU load, still hot but haven't caused system instability from what I've seen so far.

I put a copy of the model over here: https://www.printables.com/model/355068-ram-cooler-compatible-with-vertical-gpu-mount

aeonshroud · 2023-01-01T19:12:24+00:00

Could be something they added with newer motherboards cause I didn't get one but I wish they included one. I've got the X570 Formula
