Looking for RAM cooler (size compatible) with CoolerMaster V8 on Maximus IV Extreme-Z

DDR3 runs relatively cool; they don't get hot. It's not necessary to have a RAM cooler installed.

All they do is make you're system louder. You don't need one.

Because I intend on pushing for a mad overclock on my Ram... Increasing voltage is important (causes heat, LOTS in extreme cases)

I am pretty sure they are getting enough airflow across the spreaders AND to blow air onto the board to cool it, my CPU-Z is outdated, I'm running the cpu at 4.8Ghz, and the board in general doesn't get hot, but warm (no where near any dangerous temp) and I just want max cooling. The cooler the better.

Also... I'm not worried about the noise, my video cards make more noise at 60% than all the other 6 fans in my tower running at 100% (including CPU cooler, which is the loudest of those 6). Any noise those ram cooler fans would create would be nothing compared to my video cards mid-game!

Unless you're planning a 24/7 overclock you could reposition a couple of fans so they're blowing right over the RAM.

I currently do have one 200mm top chassis fan blowing down that way, though it doesn't quite blow ONTO the ram as it is a little too far over, the Ram sits about between the two top 200mm fans (top rear blows out, top front sucks in) So air is being sucked out the back corner top and rear, but I don't think enough air is being exausted... But I want to turn that fan back to blowing out again, cause the airflow in my can is kinda strange right now.

I believe some RAM comes with temperature sensors now, are there temperature sensors on the stuff you have?
 
Anything over 1.65V is not recommended, in the case that it may damage your RAM. Even if you do OC your RAM, it will not get hot at 1.65V.
