Description

My memories were getting really hot (over 65°C) during gaming because the video card underneath heated them up even more. I did not find any brackets available for buying which would support fans, so I made one. I took the following model from Kolyuchiy as an inspiration, but I heavily modified the concept in every aspect: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5414963

I'm using the bracket on a Gigabyte X570 Aorus Master motherboard. I tried to make it as compatible as possible, but I cannot make any promises. The design supports connectors next to the RAM slots (mine has an USBC header right next to it) and also supports AIO tubing in the middle. The screw holes are compatible with standard M5 fan screws.

Most RAM modules should fit underneath, I have G.Skill Trident Z Royal modules. I'm using Noctua NF-A4x10 FLX fans on the bracket.

Printing instructions: using supports is recommended. I recommend tree support on the plate only.

Do not print from PLA, as it might melt. Use PETG at least, or preferably ABS/ASA or similar high temperature materials. I printed mine from ABS and it is working great.

Assembly instructions: use a screwdriver with a long handle (check picture). Screw in the screws halfway to create the thread, then hold the fan on the other side and finish mounting all screws. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE SCREWS as the bracket might break, and you don't need to hold the fans too firmly anyway.

Note: it is intentional the bracket to bend a little, it will just snap stable that way.

I don't know if it would fit DDR2/3/5. If you try it out, please let me know and I'll update the description.
