Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooler (RR-212E-20PK-R1)
Reviewed by junhawng

I honestly love this cooler, but I think I'm gonna move on to another one soon, it just looks... A bit to bland compared to other flaming red (literally) coolers on the market.

Hey guys,

Im considering upgrading from 8gb to 32gb so that I can create a bigger ramdisk. This is mainly because I CAN and not beacuse I really need it!

Anyhow, my current version of windows 7 apparently only recognizes 16gb max but my mobo can handle 32gb. My question if this has any effect on my ability to use the other 16gb as a ramdisk?

I hope I understood your question right,

No you can't use the other 16gb for a ram disk since this is managed by windows.

What Windows 7 version are you running if I may ask?

Probably Home Premium, I am pretty sure you need Win7 Pro to run above 16GB of RAM.

I would just upgrade to Win8 pro for cheap
