Default RAM can get burned?
Hey there

A monitoring software (Intel Active Monitor) tells me that the "system zone 2" is too hot (above 50c)

I checked @ Intel.com where is the system zone 2 is placed, and thats the area where the RAM is sitting.

Can temp of 48-55 c ruin my RAM?

Its a little warm. Is that DDR or RDRAM?

If its DDR check out these: http://www.cyberguys.com/cgi-bin/sgi...REQC=3&UREQD=4

If its RDRAM they already have a heatsink built into them. They do also sell fan kits that puts a small 20mm or so fan over the ram sticks to cool them

ramsinks, the best option. make sure there is not a build up of dust on the ram either.
AMD XP 3200+ (was a 2500+)
(200 * 11 = 2205Mhz)
ASUS A7N8X-E
OCZ PC3200 Dual Channel Memory
nVidia 6800GT 256mb DDR3
