my ram is awesome and i have a tt pipe 101 with a silverstone fan. the stock voltage is like 1.6something?? i think... anyways, it does run kinda hot at that voltage, and my ram runs hot always. the proc reaches 53 while im playing guild wars or cs and at the same time listening to online radio, never less than 96kbps... but thats with the fan on low, becasue on high it sounds like a turbine... but yeah, tommorrow once the beef jerky is done making, i will get the room fan and blow it into the case and see how hig is can get the ram. i shouldnt have to even do that to get it to 250, but my proc is holding me back. i will also raise the agp voltage a bit and oc the video card some... more results tommorrow as i get them
