Thats awesome! What exactly are you using it for? Cooling your computer? Or a fan for you? I assume computer, and if so, is that on the outside or inside?

Lol,

It was for cooling my card, the ram had no cooling, i was planning to buy some ram sinks and then add that to blow on the card.

I wasnt allowed to get ramsinks so my idea just lays around.

It looks really ghey, lol, the bottom is a block of wood for weight an i used wire tubing for the stem.

I used a grill from a old PSU dat got BUSTED!

lol thnks.

Do you have any old CPU heat sinks ... you could creatively cut them to size and adheare them to the RAM chips with AS adhesive!

AS5 wont do!
A good old hack saw with a little patience, a tight sharp blade will cut straight!
Then remove the burs with a file! Oh, use wood or cardboard to protect the aluminum when you clamp it in a vise!!!
Plot out how much sink you have to cut up! ... you could make a paper template the size of the sink and cut it up to size to see how theh will cover the chips! Also... you dont have to cut individual chip sinks... depending on what you have and how much surface are you have to work to work with! They can cover 1 or more chips at a time!
You will need AS adhesive to attach them.

No idea on an alternative means to retain them, sorry!

You could mount the fan directly over them for good cooling!
