I’m looking to grab some 8200/8400 DDR5, and maybe run it at ~8000 MT/s or so and tightly trim timings. I’m semi-planning to water cool the RAM, based on what I’ve been seeing regarding most people’s overclocked RAM temperatures. Hoping to get some feedback from those of you running OC DDR5 (7000+ MT/s). What cooling you use?
Regarding build, I’m going APEX ENCORE and 14900k - so I don’t expect to be limited from the IMC.

Well, I can get some g.skill 8,000s with stock heatsinks and no fan on it errorless for ~4 hours on a z790 ProArt, 14900k on air (NH-D15) @ 7600
I reeeealllly doubt they’re actually errorless for ~5-7 days though as they’re hitting 62°c, and I don’t care really to validate that long on a board I don’t intend to daily any more: in my mind anything +50°c is going to error sub-12 hours
My Encore comes in tomorrow so I can tell you in a few days where it lands with stock heatsinks, basic xmp, same setup but with a fan on the ram (not the encore fan)
after I get that I plan on taking the crap g.skill heatsink off and putting them in some Bykski Copper Airs, I’m guessing they’re going to get about 7800 errorless (5 day stress) but who knows. Ddr5 is a hot mess. But that’s what makes it fun eh
Yeah, I’d love to hear how your encore runs along with the RAM.
My goal is to keep the dimms under 40C, and so far water seems the only way based on what I’m seeing others say. But - if those heatsinks paired with a high CFM fan on top do the trick, I’d have no issue going that route.
Keep me posted buddy
Know it’s 2 weeks out, but I was quite wrong about the Bykskis
If your goal is to keep them sub-40 the Bykskis will work
Even running RAM Test they’re usually sub-40c but their peaks are pretty up there
(active cooled with a 120mm + Encore fan, Bykski heatspreaders, Thermal Grizzly 1,5mm thermal pads)
