[SOLVED] About RAM heat ?

[Skullexx]

Will having more than two sticks of ram generate more heat ? I'm not asking how much memory the sticks have but how many you have installed on motherboard.

Let's say 2 x sticks vs 4 x sticks of ram? I cant seem to find the answer I'm looking for on google as it keeps bringing up how much memory the ram sticks have and not the amount number of sticks you install. Just wondering if less fewer sticks cause less heat ?

Do less sticks cause less heat, answer: NO
Stick to the manufacturers advised voltage and you will be OK.
Heat is generated by voltage.

Ram how much heat?

Hi Qucik question on you boffins :) Does 4 x 4 gig ram DDR 3 under normal load conditions produce more heat that 2 x 8 gig DDR 3 ram sticks ? I under stand that an 8 gig stick will consume less power, but is the heat produced relevant to 2 x 4 gig sticks, is this also correct or not. Reason...
