Final RAM choice!

[No.72]

I am about to order my RAM, and I was going to go for some of this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...odid=MY-000-TG
but then I had a brain wave!
and it was buy a 2x 512 sticks like this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...odid=MY-001-TG
and then use the money saved on the memory to buy a water cooling kit for the cpu. about £100.
What do you think shall I go with 2 gb of RAM an go with air cooling, or 1 gb of RAM and water cooling?

thankyou

get the 2GB of ram, much more useful. buy a cheap air cooler such as the artic freezer pro

[jackvdbuk]

cheap watercooling kits are a waste of time imo, air cooling is fine if you can stand the 'noise' from it, 2gb of ram is much much better than having a watercooling kit to keep the temps 2 degrees below air cooling would ....

2gb is the norm now adays - so get 2gb and forget the water

[teachmech]

Same as everybody else go for 2GB everything seems much smoother with 2Gb compared to 1 Gb.

Ok cheers all . I could look into going water in the summer when I might need it as it gets quite hot in my room .

So what do you think of the RAM?
I might stretch and get some of the black hz g skill memory as it is only £15 more and it has better chips me thinks.

Sweet, how does it clock? and have you glued the heat spreaders on ?

[Steve B]

i aint overclocking it
haven't got round to it yet, but i've heard it clocks very well

[No.72]

Do you use the heat spreadders, you know the silver things
and does it come with the glue compound stuff to stick it on?
thankyou

[Steve B]

mine were already stuck on when i got them ive had them since about july/august time.

O rite o sorry it's just in all the reviews I have seen they have been separate.
Well I am looking at those or the black g skills, but I think I will go with the team memory.

[Steve B]

i had the HZ kit for my abit 939 board, and it just wouldn't play ball. I'd go for the Team over the Geil anyday

2GB RAM and an Arctic Cooling Freezer Pro (about £15). Low cost water is a waste of money, the ACFP will be probably perform better also as it helps cool other motherboard components with the airflow.
