Quick one: Is this correct set up of RAM and does any one have an opinion about a dedicated fan for the RAM

Hi

The memory modules appear to be in the correct slots for Dual Channel mode. I really woiuldn't worry about a dedicated fan for the memory as it doesn't get that hot under normal circumstances. If you are planning some heavy duty overclocking then it might be a good idea but from your questions I doubt this.
