As the title says, looking for der8auer ram modules or similar to replace the EK ones as they have bad pressure and it is very easy to damage the threads on them.

Can I join your search? Mine also broke, 3 out of 6 don't hold.

Can I also hop on the WTB RAM plates bandwagon? All four of my EK plates have gone to crap, and new EK plates can't be used with thermal paste since the gap between the chips and the heatsinks is too wide (and hence only suitable for thermal pads).

Seems like I have to order a new load of plates

I could use EK ones somewhat ok with paste with my own made screws but its so easy to damage the top screw hole threads aswell and also I hate allen key screws.

Add me to the list of those looking.

Fuck it, I guess I'll get these while everyone is searching.

 

Alternatively, this could be titled "EK ram heatsinks are absolute junk, they strip easily and have poor contact and pressure".

I like Bassplayer's alternate thread title. I'd be in the market for some too, but haven't saved up to buy the cooling pots yet.

In.

Will check tomorrow how fast he can produce a new load

 

I guess normal aluminium heatspreaders are fine or does anyone want to have copper ones?

We want cheap and good ones

I have some old titan copper hs from ddr1 Kingstons I once had, 15 Euros for you, Sam

Alu is better Roman, can make faster temp changes .

Basic question - how much for modules and shipping?

I need a couple of sets as well, aluminum is fine unless someone has a strong argument for copper. Any idea on price per set?

Just checking - any progress on that?

We need heatsinks!

You're not lying about this, especially if you have Ripjaws V

Lol, so true.

 

Ripjaws V would be cooled better if Gskill shipped them naked & we pointed a fan at them.

They should sell them without hs anyways...

I have this thing 80% designed. I'll receive the pot for measurements in this week and I'll be able to make a sample

Awesome bartx! Keep us posted, could use a set of 4 myself.

ya I guess I would grab some also. The ek spreaders work for single side ok. I just add a big enough spacer to the backside of the stick and use a decent amount of paste on the chips and they hold fine.

 

If I look into the spreader I can see the paste squeezed out to edge and it holds tight. But I hate the screw holes.

since theres a lot of people interested I can grab some
