No, not to the point of causing problems. My case has plenty of cooling, it's an Antec 900 with a side fan, and keep everything on high, so no problems there. The RAM just gets a little warm, for instance if I leave my case open and play a game for a while, then place my hand near different components, the air right around my RAM is about 10F hotter than the air coming through my CPU heatsink, though it's much cooler than my GPU.

This isn't really something I *need*, but it might be nice. I wouldn't go and buy a RAM fan, not for $25, but if there's a way to mount this old 80mm fan over the RAM without too much trouble I'd do that. Since my computer is going to be in pieces for a while while I install my new components it would seem to be the best opportunity.

Just any idea of how to do it would be nice.
