avh48 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Hi guys! I´ve been using a 4x4 Vengeance CMZ16GX3M4X1866C9 kit on my system for a year now without problems. The thing is that I have an Intel 3930k @4.5GHz with a Zalman CNPS9900Max cooler. I wasn't comfortable with the temperature of my cpu when using Prime95, so I decided to replace my cpu cooler with a Phanteks ph-tc11pe. I knew that the tall Vengeance heatsinks would be a problem when installing the new Phanteks cpu cooler, so I decided to replace the Vengeance´s heatsinks with some low profile aluminum heatsinks. They fitted grat and so far my system is running perfect... I want to know if this memory produce a lot of heat. I´m running them at stock settings: 1.5v @1866MHz with timings of 9-10-9-27 and 2T CR. Do you think that replacing the heatsinks may become an issue in the near future? My case has great ventilation. I know that I´ve lost my warranty since I modified the modules but I knew it before doing it so there´s no problem with that, I took the risk =) Thanks! :feedback: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Do you think that replacing the heatsinks may become an issue in the near future? There is just no way to predict any sort of failure like that. Sorry, all you can do is wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been running my 8 modules without heatsinks whatsoever. I run them at 1866 and realize that I've trashed the warranty but they seem to perform well. I don't recommend doing this but it was the only way I was able to get the Noctua cooler to fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
