Ronan2010 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 just recently bought the corsair dominator GT with airflow and discovered a problem? its not a problem with the memory units themselves its the airflow fan: the motherboard i have is the msi big bang xpower and as with most motherboards where you fit the ram there is a clip to fasten the ram in place yes? right, the problem i have is with the airflo unit, on the xpower moby where you put the ram there are the clips to fasten it in place but only on one side. the other side there is no clip it is totally flat so of course the cooling unit is supposed to grip onto these to hold it in place. unfortunately i dont have a camera to include a photo to show this problem. so guys any help would be greatly appreciated, i suppose i could return them to the supplier but there isnt actually a fault with anything. thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 No need for pics, that issue has been posted before. Not sure if there's any type of workaround though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 If you do not intend to move your system around frequently or ship it, the clips will hold. You just need to be sure to put plenty of tension on the screws for the retaining clips. ASUS does this also and the clips work well with them.
