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.

    So, this is preliminary as it’s only been ~4 hours:

    XMP I, No ram modifications (stock heatspreaders), no direct active ram cooling ourside of the AIO pump’s fan, and 3 pull fans blowing over the mobo as if it were in a case (it’s on its box, no case open air)

    ambient is 69°f/20.5°c

    This is the kit of ram:

    14900k, 4090, z790 encore, 420mm aio (arctic ii + Kryosheet)

    Unbelievably it still hasn’t errored even though it’s neared 80°c on the ram I’m so intrigued I’m tempted to just leave it like this until it does lmao
