….. With some modifications. Here is a picture of the RAM Freezer 4 on top of a Gigabyte EX58-EXTREME motherboard with all of the DIMM slots populated.

As you can see, if you are running 3 modules in tri-channel, the RAM Freezer 4 is just wide enough to be able to get RAM spreaders on both sides, but you will need to remove the material in the middle of the RAM Freezer 4 in order to get a RAM spreader on the middle module. Overall with a Dremel the mod should not be very complicated and should not affect the structural integrity of the RAM Freezer.

This was a tough topic for me to approach. On one hand I’ve got the state of the memory market right now, which is >99% DDR2, but on the other hand, I’ve got to consider that that’s about to change. DDR3 is quickly becoming a viable option. X38/X48 and 790i were designed for use with DDR3, whereas all of the previous chipsets were designed for use with DDR2 and DDR3 support felt like something of an afterthought.

I’ve been criticized a little bit for calling out Corsair’s marketing names for their products and ignoring the others, but when it comes down to it, A) Corsair is a GREAT choice for system memory and power supplies (and anything else they make), and B) They were the ones who ponied up the RAM for us to showcase in the Tech Tips. If anyone else had asked to have their RAM featured, we would have been happy to oblige. It all comes down to support, and I’ll support whoever supports the Tech Tips project.
