I’m looking to grab some 8200/8400 DDR5, and maybe run it at ~8000 MT/s or so and tightly trim timings. I’m semi-planning to water cool the RAM, based on what I’ve been seeing regarding most people’s overclocked RAM temperatures. Hoping to get some feedback from those of you running OC DDR5 (7000+ MT/s). What cooling you use?
Regarding build, I’m going APEX ENCORE and 14900k - so I don’t expect to be limited from the IMC.
A fan even running at 3k RPM directly on the dimms won’t get you below 40C. At least not with the Gskill 2x24 kit I have. Best I can do during stress testing is 41-42C (25C ambient) at 8200C36 and 1.52v VDD. This is with a 3k Noctua Industrial.
Yeah I’m not doing a 3k industrial on my ram for a daily rig. I’d smash it after an hour with the drone 😅😅🫠
Was considering an A14 or A20 on a custom mount hanging from the top of the case: going into a Fractal Torrent, so no top fans
Long term planning on doing a 3d printed blower style forced air setup like I’ve seen a few people here on Reddit do
Well I only run it at high RPM for stress testing. Running it at 1000-1200 RPM is enough to stay below 40C for my daily use, mostly gaming. So it’s not loud at all.
