Hmm, access denied on that one… But interesting!
It’s in the “Manual & Document” section of both motherboards on the ASUS website.

Exactly, that’s the way! I mounted fans with simple zip ties, but that 3D printed support looks really great.

The issue with heat on DDR5 RDIMM is not because of the PMIC chip on the sticks. It only dissipates a few watts. The issues with temps is the sheer number of dual sided , high density dies on the sticks along with the very fast clock rates of these new 6400 and above DIMMS.
That and what you mention of packing 8 or 12 sticks , butt to cheek together on the motherboard and installing the same motherboard in a DIY case instead of the normal 2U-4U server chassis with high front to back airflow from multiple DELTA fans screaming along.

I left all the fans on full blast, for 16 hours. This is the current situation.
Much better! That’s giving me confidence that it’s just a temperature issue. It does also seem that SMP causes more failures. I didn’t catch it in time this run to turn it on.
I am going to water cool my ram.

My current build (7970X/128-6400) reached 70 until I added more fans (push-pull as described in the Fractal Torrent manual), but still reaches 65C.
For my new build I will put fans blowing over the cpu/ram because the case allows it, see New build: Have I just found the perfect Threadripper case? - Hardware Hub / Build a PC - Level1Techs Forums

Strange that the V-Color kit with 64GB does not list the Asrock WRX90 Evo as a supported platfrom, only up to the 48GB dimms.

I ended up buying M-die Hynix RAM with heat sinks for expediency but the advertised temperature difference doesn’t seem that impressive, see New build: Have I just found the perfect Threadripper case? - #8 by FredRipper

This is likely because they are only heatspreaders rather than heatsinks installed; the latter has the surface area to reject enough heat and the former only equalizes the temperature to prevent hotspots and has alittle thermal mass to help with transients.

Yes, that at least makes fans blowing on them much more effective.
They measured the hotspot on the hottest point (the RCD) which is right under… where they put a solid logo instead of venting holes, like the rest.
Pretty dumb design, in appearance.
The front says “TC” so just put that instead of “T-CREATE” on the top and your RAM might run cooler, lol.

at least yours is going to be single rank and x8 organized; the x4 organized and dual rank is harder to cool.
Yes, when I see 24GB M-die speeds like those with the same tRAS, I dream: Patriot Viper Xtreme 5 DDR5-8200 Memory Review - Overclockers
Especially about that 8000 8x24 SR ASUS preset:
Bear in mind that currently the V-Color 8000 96GB*2 (the one Wendell reviewed) is selling for $2800, and I paid $1300 for my kit.
All that to try and soften the blow of seeing my UCLK drop from 3200 to 1600, if I can get at least FCLK=UCLK=2000 or 2050 or 2100 I’ll be happy (currently 2133.33/3200).
Like I said above, it doesn’t matter that much for compile tasks, but still >=5%.
Finally got some 40mm fans, will try some configurations soon.
Well, let’s see how jank this is. No real mounting points or anything. Could use a 3D printer for sure.
I tried to see if I could do a parallel setup, or I was going to pull though instead of push onto the ram, but I need a better mounting solution. There wasn’t much space either.

Seems a lot better, at 40% fan speed.
Interested in doing a memtest now and seeing if it will complete.

Okay, less and more jank
Tring some tests with the ram fans at 40% which isn’t bad on the ears. Everything else is on “optimal” fan curve default settings.
I also did a funny and bought another Fractal North XL Mesh to get another side fan bracket. I looked everywhere for a loose one and on their site for accessories, guess that one will have to be my next build.
No room for a push-pull setup on the rad, but if the ram has no errors at 6800 and I can run PBO for 5.2-5.4 GHz while maxing out my 3 GPUs and storage card, pretty damn good for me. Counting the PCI cards, there are now 25 fans in this beast.
I wonder if pulling up through the RDIMMS might be better, or if I could configure some side panel fans as exhaust, but IDK atm.
Seeing if memtest86+ with SMP enabled passes with these fans on mostly quiet mode for now.
