davout777 :
thank you jack.
BTW, have you heard of anything that a low profile ram would cause pc freeze/dead ??
thank you
Well the tall toothy heat sinks have a very specific cooling function .... they are designed to "look cool" and that's about all they do. I only use low profile sticks, unless it's a water cooled box and ya want something bigger to draw the eye.
Whenever I experience any weirdness, I'll run Memtest86+ overnight (12 hours).... while many suggest 1 stick at a time, that's 24 hours and since 95+ % of the time they will both pass i do both. If I get a failure, then I'll test 1 at a time and then each slot ... moist times you'll detect failures in the 1st pass.... even in the 1st 5 minutes but I have had failures after 7 and 9 and my son had one after 11 passes .....
