Hehe the ram is no doubt (IMO) superior but you're gonna have to push it pretty hard to get the performance (just like the other ram mind you). :) (make sure you have active cooling on the ram)

There is no such thing as stock ram cooling. You will need to buy a fan for the RAM.

you can used heat sinks for ram if theres a side panel fan.

There is already a 90mm fan on the side panel...but I don't know if I still need to buy another fan. If I buy another fan where will it go?
There's a front(intake) 120mm, rear(exhaust) 120mm, and a side(intake) 90mm.
Any help would be appreciated.

From this pic I think it's at the ram, but can you confirm?

ok...could you recommend me a brand?

Get a cheapo $5 80mm fan and hang it over the memory :) Although its active memory cooling i would not trust the Thermaltake active memory cooling to cool your ram enough) ... any standard fan should be decent

From this pic I think it's at the ram, but can you confirm

Both although it overlaps CPU more.

So I don't need to buy an extra fan?
Click to expand...
Probably not ... buy the case as it is and then if you need/want, buy the fan separately :)
