ram and computer temp

[Recon]

does ram give off heat?

[zaitsev]

no, ram doesnt, you can get ram heat sinks but there is no point to them as modern day ram doesnt gives off heat

[Scott]

Yes ram does get off heat... Expecially modern day ram!

[Steve]

depends how much volts u put through it
mine is currently only warm

[Scattergun]

Hum if i were .....


Nvm ram does give off heat and that is one reason God invented RADIATOR FANS

[atholon]

Yeah it does definately give off heat. Anything with electricity running through it will give off heat. Just depends one what it is running through.

[VooDoo-]

if you really care that much about the heat just get a better fan for your video card and some case fans... i got the better fan for my video card cause it actully over heated once...

9800 xt = uber hot ...

[atholon]

Radeons run way hotter than Geforce cards. I ran my friend's 9200 on my system to see if it would work better than my 5600 and it was way hot when I took it out. The 5600 was cold :0

RAM does give off heat, especially if you OC it. More juice=more heat. Serious OC'ers have heatsinks with fans blowing over them (just a heatsink doesn't do much...).

If you're just running a system with good ventilation and no OC, you don't need heatsinks and extra fans...but it's not like they cost that much. Besides, they look cool
