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.

    I just put a pair of GSkill Trident 7600s in my mobo as they came and they are running fine. The top exhaust fan is pretty close to the RAMs, but that is all.

    Am I doing something wrong?

      Likely not doing anything wrong, but with ddr5, who knows

      Get Ram Test and see if it’s stable for a day or two would be my recommendation

      If you get errors eventually down the road you’ll be getting blue screens in games, and if severe enough you’ll get a corrupt windows install given enough time
