Recently up-graded the memory to max. of 16GB.
My machine is a p6720f. Installed Corsair mem. 4 x 4GB. each.
Don't use it for gaming or anything intense.
I'm kinda wondering if I should do something about the extra heat, if any the new mem. puts out .
Should the fans be replaced with larger capacity fans, or should I add extra fans ?
Any thoughts would be great.
Thank's

Hi,
I don't think there is any need to modify your cooling - adding extra ( or more dense ) memory modules will only generate a little extra heat and this may even be offset by the PC accessing the Hard Drive less so reducing the heat output from this component.

Hello,
Thank's for the quick reply.
So even though these have the extra heat sinks on them, I should not have to worry about heat build-up ?

Hi,
That's right, any additional heat produced will be minimal and well within the cooling capability of your PC.
