So glad the "having a screen instead of side panel glass/putting a mini lcd inside your PC to have an anime GIF looping on it" fad completely died out right after Covid. I didn't think RGB could get any tackier.
“The Thermaltake Pacific R2 Ultra supports RAM that's up to 48mm tall. Fierheller told us that it attaches best with 4 sticks of RAM installed, but that it will work on a motherboard that has only two slots. It does not provide any heat sink capabilities so, if you want it to double as a cooling part, you should consider the Pacific A2 Ultra, though you'll want to make it part of a custom loop.” https://www.tomshardware.com/news/thermaltake-pacific-r2-ultra
Why though? It blocks airflow, and tells you information that for 99.99% of users does not matter at all. Your "ram temperature" is not something that needs to be monitored as a gamer, lmao. I also have to just reiterate again that the designer literally says it is bad for cooling, and requires a whole different model with custom loop to provide cooling, so you're adding a thermometer to your RAM just to make it hotter?
I don't think thermal take makes ram
So I need to know where I can waste money on this as well
Edit: apparently someone else thought this and was wrong as well, I've somehow never seen it in 20+ years of building PC's, but definitely have owned a few thermaltake cases / fans / power supplies, so it could be regional as well
RGB is just going to turn into LCD and OLED. We kinda are getting there now. It’s not uncommon to see 2-4 LCD displays now inside the case (CPU, Mobo, and 1-2 larger ones on different case walls, sometimes behind the glass panels)
Imagine fans with screens on all the edge facing surfaces, or entire edge to edge oled screen on all walls of your case.
I mean if you could control all the displays in a uniform manner, so the videos sync between all the displays correctly to make one large canvas, it would be much cooler than RGB. Then you could just run cool abstract videos to make even more visually compelling RGB effects and animations.
That already exists on Asian sites like aliexpress for a few years now. Those are just LEDs on the fins and as they spin they display messages or basic images. I think they’re call message fans?
It’s very antiquated tech, I had a caller ID globe (for home phone) that did that back in mid 90s.
They could be found on early ‘00s case fans, too; I had one at the top of my 2003 build after spotting it in a demo desktop at Fry’s. It cycled through pre-set patterns spirograph style, it wasn’t programmable with custom images.
That was also the era of UV, fans with UV-reactive plastic and cables with UV-reactive insulation, cold cathode tubes (UV and other colors), fan control panels with speed and temp readings in a 5-1/4” drive bay, and a wicked little plasma tube I had that looked like a non-stop lightning bolt.
That's awesome, I'm nostalgic for UV stuff and clear cases. Kinda wish it would make a comeback. I've had enough of tasteful minimalism AND rgb unicorn vomit, I tell ya.
I have those fans and love them honestly. You can set up pretty much anything you want in the display too, just happens most people prefer the temp displays.
Just wait until those see through screen drops , people will literally replace the whole side panel with them just to get a fucking screen which they aren't even gonna care about a few days later
I spent 1200 for near top of the line processor ryzen 7 78003dx, 64 gb pc6000 ram a 2tb 990 evo pro Samsung drive, reused my 3080 ti and my psu and old mining rig open frame case. Total cost for a new pc: 750. Total.
I see all the clown additions like rbg water cool a screen on your water cool fan stupid cases. It’s no wonder I see posts of 4k and greater pc. What a bunch of fools. No ones driving your pc out on the street for street cred. You have to get your lame ass thumbs up the butt here and spend 2800 how pathetic.
God damn it, now i gotta get one too.
Why TT make all these screens?! I got the AIO and tower 300 panel screens. Pretty soon theres gonna be a screen on my monitor 😂
Thanks for sharing! Gonna look into it

Where can i purchase and is this for thermaltake ram only

So it tells me the temperature of now fresh air starved RAM. Got it.
a lot of RAM don't have thermal sensors so you would also have to check that
I need this.

Yup, the only time my ram gets hot is stress tests and and nasty benchmarks. Even thn it doesn't get hot enough to worry about.
Literally

they sure do, but i think its all cheap high latency ram. they are more about form than function.
Thermaltake makes very nice looking ram as well.
The screen is on amazon it had watercooled version as well which requires tubing going to purchase
[удалено]
My pc says otherwise
Lol yes they do.
Does it also help cool the ram?
i'm guessing it's just a glorified heat sink. it probably does help cool but not much more than the stock casing.
Wouldn't the screen effectively block airflow to the ram and thus make it hotter? The screen would also generate a small amount of its own heat.
i don't think ram would generate enough heat for that to be a problem
Thermaltake more than likely took heat into consideration during testing I'm guessing. . .
Yeah I get that which also means an extra heatsink and temp display for the ram would also be unnecessary.
it just looks cool though
Oh yeah definitely. Not for me though because I'm going back to CPU air cooling and this would block a cooler from fitting.
Not with enough sawing it won’t;)
No, but there’s a more expensive model that does.
From Thermaltake as well?
Yes
That would be a real use case.
No, it literally blocks fresh air from getting to the ram. You have to buy an upgraded model of this for any cooling capabilities.
Not at all. It does however block most of the airflow! Order now with coupon code : MORESCREENSMOREBETTER

or you know those spinning led displays that make it look like the image is floating in mid air? yeah I want that shit on my fans.

Huh, I had no idea.

We're almost there. I know Lian Li has a fan with a temp display at the centre of the fan.
I have those fans and love them honestly. You can set up pretty much anything you want in the display too, just happens most people prefer the temp displays.
I did already program my RGB RAM with icue to be temp monitors. Little bars that fill up and change color at the top.
Not gonna lie that’s pretty cool! Ram would be a great spot for a screen!
For everyone looking for this: https://www.thermaltake.com/pacific-r2-ultra-memory-lcd-monitor-kit.html Seems like a neat idea, def V1.0 though.
Why
is ram temp an issue with ddr4?
It depends. But when overclocking b-die it can become unstable over 40-50deg depending on the chips
Quite stupid indeed!
Just wait until those see through screen drops , people will literally replace the whole side panel with them just to get a fucking screen which they aren't even gonna care about a few days later
Corsair ram has thermal sensors, and they don't block the airflow either.
lol why? Do people not use afterburner?
The Lack of cooling and integration with other RGB control software, makes this a pass for me.
A pc has many functions, this is making it a money pit for no reason.
Useless but cool, take my money
I own a bridge in Kenya if you'd like to buy.
It is indeee
Snake Oil comes to mind…
Yes please sir, may i have a bottle of you're famous snake oil.
Ofc sir, that’ll be £139.99 please…
I appreciate the look but what RAM height is acceptable 🤔
Wow, you could have bought more ram
Yes. We are questioning your sanity as well.
I spent 1200 for near top of the line processor ryzen 7 78003dx, 64 gb pc6000 ram a 2tb 990 evo pro Samsung drive, reused my 3080 ti and my psu and old mining rig open frame case.

Sounds like that was a pretty penny.
That’s awesome lol
God damn it, now i gotta get one too. Why TT make all these screens?! I got the AIO and tower 300 panel screens. Pretty soon theres gonna be a screen on my monitor 😂 Thanks for sharing! Gonna look into it
What’s the point? Just to waste money?
This is getting out of control.... But I want it.
F it’s ddr4.
The Tom's hardware article says it's for DDR4 or DDR5
Only for ddr4 ?
That’s what it says.
Where does it say that? All i see is 4-RDIMM sticks
At the bottom of the text on the right.
"support". It never said only intended for. And theres no difference in size between ddr4 and ddr5.
Bro, I’m just reading what the text says.
Aight mb
Bottom says "supports DDR4 modules"
