SEVEN3 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 So even though the airflow fans mostly cover the stock Dominator GT heatsinks I can still see the red through them... black or even blue would really tie the room together... When I bought the RAM, as they have modular heatsink mounting, I figured it would be no big deal to get different color stock height heatsinks. So where can I get them? Searching online gives me nothing. So I guess I got to call Corsair up and see what the word is. Am I going to have any hassle getting stock parts for my RAM from Corsair? I don't have the clearance for the extended height heatsinks with the airflow fans, but I do have clearance for them without the fans. My case fans might be a little too distant to cool the extended heatsinks better than a pair of dedicated fans acting directly on stock heat sinks, but maybe not... My case has pretty good airflow; lots of low flow fans and CPU and GPUs are liquid cooled. I kind of like the idea of passive cooling, but I don't think I can go wrong with fan cooling unless the fans add too much noise to my quiet system. It's not running now so I can't compare... So for now, I think I want to try stock fan cooled with different color heatsinks. Personally, I'd rather just exchange with someone who wants red heatsinks, but I don't want to step on any toes with the no trading policy...

SEVEN3 Posted September 20, 2010 Author Share Posted September 20, 2010 Yes, WITH said fan extensions in place, the fan assembly will slightly interfere with my HDDs, enough to be a no-go for my set-up. If I were to buy the extended fins, I would be unable use the fans even with the fan extensions, because the whole assembly will be too tall. If I could, I would...
