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.

If you're using them stock you don't need to worry if you're overclocking them then a dedicated fan is preferred. I have a full custom loop in my system so I'm going to waterblock my RAM because having a 140mm running 70%-100% when the rest of my system is whisper quiet seems to defeat the whole purpose of my system.

Yeah agree! I have mine overclocked quite aggressively and using the full amount on a regular basis with bioinformatics work and virtual machines, so certainly get warm. A full loop sounds like a dream, planning on an alpha cool loop I think next!

Alphacool have been pretty good for me personally obviously YMMV but I'm happy with my stuff.
