Blue ram didn't have her say yes. She doesn't know RAM from her elbow. She can use Word, Excel, E-mail, look up stuff on google. Anything else, lost. I start yapping about computers and she just nods and goes "yeah, uhuh, okay, sure".

and P.S.,mine do not have "ads" on them..........


Explain to me how running "high end apps" puts more stress on your RAM than gaming or general use. Does your RAM overclock itself when it realizes that you're running a "high end app"? Your argument doesn't make sense.

I guarantee that if you take the heat spreaders off almost any RAM that the RAM will run fine. Simply having goor air flow inside your case is more than enough.

u have to understand it all to know what i mean..games just load into the ram and play...high end video and audio editing dose full bandwidth streaming off the hard drive and in and out of the ram full time when we are doing a project,games DONT,they load a few hundred mb's of info in and thats it...these programs(the high end apps i use) load the full 32gb's of ram FULL and keep them that way with streaming audio video and effects...there is a HUGE difference there.....

You are incorrect. Games are constantly loading textures, AI, and whatever else is happening in the game. RAM is constantly changing it's contents in ALL applications. Why do you think gamers overclock their RAM?

ok,fine,u have a closed mind,i cant sit here and tell what u wont listen to,games DO NOT LOAD AS MUCH AS HIGH END APPS!!!!.....God dude,i work with these programs all the time and i play high end games and my ram is a LOT more heated up when i am running my projects than when i play games,there not the same,if u cant get than the forget it...

i have work to do and when i come on here i like to do posts that will help me or someone else and sense all u want to do is tell me i'm wrong when it happens to me at least 5 times a day (Ram heating up MORE than when i play games because i am running high end editing and rendering apps.) then whatever...

thats for saying that EliteHunter..that is all i was trying to do..because yes 95% of people in the world well never do anything to heat your RAM up enough to hurt it...as for the other 5% (aka ME and MAYBE YOU in time) do do things that can bring problems that most people never even heard of before,like this...,but good God,its only 10 bucks,i don't know y some people fight this so hard..lol.....

ok so ANYWAYS,sorry for losing my kool...i wont get mad anymore(unless a fight is picked:D j/k)...i'v just done a lot of things that some(most) people never heard of/knew was possible so i know what can happen in this case(and i don't pretend to know it all)..so believe me or not,i don't care anymore....:D

I honestly can't believe your argument. You are calling me close-minded because I won't agree with your argument that has aboslutely no proof backing it up. You are making assumptions and guesses. You say you want to help people but you're only making up facts that aren't correct.
