Are there any other alternatives to this?
I have a Dell Precision 670 Workstation. I like to upgrade my RAM memory to over 4GB. The thing is, Dell requires that I need to buy a Dell shroud...

You need to buy a new shroud just to install extra ram?? Pmsl! Dont listen to them, that is absolute rubbish. If the existing shroud would get in the way of extra memory modules, just pull it out. If...

I know. The shroud cost twice the price 4GB of memory. That's bad. From what I've read and Dell, the computer won't boot without the shroud if the memory is more than 4GB.

if indeed you need that shroud in order to run 4GB or more.... then what I would do is investigate what makes that shroud so special... As you mentioned... it is made of plastic and a fan... well.......

Thanks for the reply. I will have to look at it tonight. However, I believed that you're right in that the motherboard will only look for a fan that plugs into it. However, even if that's the case, how...

Just sit the fan in the case. Those shrouds are just fancy pants useless pieces of equipment IMO. They apparently 'direct' the airflow to the CPU, but they dont make any difference really

Thanks. I'll look at it tonight so see if there is a way to stick a regular 80mm fan into that place.

So you are saying that I can replace both fans on my Dell Workstation 670 with the Antec Cool Spot fans and then I can add over 4gb of Ram and won't get the error, add cooling fan

Any fan should do. Even remove the one thats in the shroud. Once there is a fan connected to that fan header the error should go away. This is NOT the CPU fan, right?

Definately not a CPU fan, upgrading memory over 4gig and it requires additional memory fan.

that sounds more like complete marketing bullshit, you dont need a memory fan for over 4GB
