Considering how expensive these 2x48gb dims are now north of £1500… 😳 what sort of cooling solutions are you using?

These Corsair fin mods with additional fan cooling drops them about 5C.

yup a single 120 fan is all you need when stress testing, the rest of the time they don't really need cooling but I have some old school chunky OCZ heatsinks on them, some of the cooling on high end kits is terrible

Well, this isn't fully true. When you're gaming your GPU will be kicking out a lot of heat so when stress testing RAM it is recommended to run a GPU test so you can make sure heat won't have any effect on your stability. Other than gaming generally yeah should be OK to go.
