Bykski DDR5 Memory Copper Air Cooling Armor (B-MRC-X )

bad fit

Hello, The heatsink did not sit properly on the ram, preventing me from installing. I have returned the product and I am waiting for refund.

A welcome improvement

I bought these heatsinks to replace the stock G-skill heatsinks on my Hynix A-die, in addition to a fan pointed at the DIMMs. At 1.4v stock, the DIMMs would hit 69c. After the new heatsinks and fan, the same test at 1.5v hit 52c max. 17c improvement while increasing the voltage significantly.

Finally got around to putting these on, so I figured I'd write a review about them They're substantial heatsinks, they have some heft. Stock settings after ~1 hour of running these versus what came with my Teamgroup DDR5 C36-7200 2x16 kit, there's a huge difference at stock settings. ~43°c vs ~50°c, though ironically when I removed the Teamgroup heatspreader and ran the dimms naked to test them even that ran cooler than their solution by a few degrees. Get what you pay for I guess Used (KLE-GSW362) automotive wax remover to take the old heatspreaders off, soaked them for ~45 minutes each and they came right off with the help of a plastic spudger. Not that I'm recommending that: use that or your own solution at your own risk of course Used the little strips that came with this kit for the memory and controller on the front, and 1.5mm Gelid GP-Ultimate thermal pads cut from a 120x120mm square covering the entirety of the back, excluding the RGB which I have no interest in cooling down IMO, this is a very good product, well worth their cost if you're planning on trying to eke the most out of your system
