    Cooling Alpenföhn Blackridge Observations

    I hadn't seen that recommendation from Noctua about their NH-L12S cooler. I am running a Blackridge cooler with a slim 120mm fan mounted under the finstack. I will have to try inverting my PC and see if that affects the temps measurably.

    Memory Very low profile DDR4 ram

    I am currently using those V-Color sticks in my Ryzen build. They are ECC, but overclock fairly well if you give them a little voltage. The JJR chips don't seem to be quite as good as CJR (it's possible you could get either one; I got JJR but someone else got CJR in this same thread before me)...

    Memory Very low profile DDR4 ram

    My V-color kit from Amazon came with JJR Hynix modules, and although they aren't quite as good at overclocking I think they're probably within acceptable ranges. On purely auto settings with atrocious timings these modules ran all the way to 4000 Mhz at which point I stopped because there isn't...

    Memory Very low profile DDR4 ram

    Amazon decided to only send me one RAM stick in a box instead of 2 (the 2nd is supposed to arrive tomorrow); at any rate the V-color sticks I ordered from Amazon appear to be SK Hynix JJR rather than CJR. Hopefully performance is marginally the same. I did say that I was going to test both with...

    Memory Very low profile DDR4 ram

    My DDR3 ECC VLP RAM (purchased for the heatspreaders) came in today....man I did not realized just how small VLP RAM is. I'm still waiting for Amazon to ship the rest of my build out. For ~$5/stick the heatsink wasn't a bad price although I wish I'd known about the AliExpress option before I...

    Cooling 2 Rads 1 Fan hypothetical

    I would imagine that if the radiators were in the same loop, that you would pass the fluid through the warm radiator first, and then through the cool radiator second; this makes the temperature gradient closer but at the same time prevents any undoing of cooling that might occur by passing...

    Memory Very low profile DDR4 ram

    I mean, it might even be worth just buying some cheap registered VLP DDR3 and just taking the heatsinks off of that, because IIRC RAM is all essentially the same length, just with different pins and notches, right...

    Memory Very low profile DDR4 ram

    I wonder if it would be worth it to get some of those little heatsinks and stick them onto the RAM modules, or get something like the VLP heatspreaders that you see on some RAM sticks to help with the more bursty RAM loads that might be more common in something like games. I didn't realize RAM...

    Memory Very low profile DDR4 ram

    Ah...I'm planning on using the Black Ridge with a downfiring 120mm fan (something I expect a lot of people here are aiming for, or something similar given the relatively limited need for something smaller than an IO shield), so I imagine temps would stay relatively cool as long as the CPU can...

    Memory Very low profile DDR4 ram

    I feel like 1.4V for DDR4 is a bit high, even if it does let you run those V-color sticks at 3600 MHz CL16. Is there any risk of damaging the IMC on Zen 2 running at those voltages 24/7?

    I was looking to use these on a Ryzen ITX board, which typically support ecc but which I assume do not support rdimms?

    General Chat Thread

    Hi, I've been registered here for a while but haven't said much. Done a lot of reading to see what's going on and learn stuff. Been interested in hacking together my own case our of wood or mdf for cost reasons... Also I noticed that I can't edit posts. Is there a reason for that?

    Also, Synchro that listing is in the UK and they don't appear to ship to the US, although I suppose I could always ask.

    Memory Very low profile DDR4 ram

    Most of the RAM that I've seen listed on this thread has been stated as being registered. Are all the listings generally inaccurate in that regard?

    Memory Very low profile DDR4 ram

    I found some Samsung VLP memory on Ebay...any idea if it would work? https://www.ebay.com/itm/SAMSUNG-M392A2G40DM0-CPB0Q-16GB-2DRX4-DDR4-PC4-2133P-R-VLP-REG-MEMORY-RAM/174225238348?hash=item2890a2294c:g:-N4AAOSwfD1ec96k I'm only asking first because at the moment I don't have a way to test...
