Water Cooling

[Majesticii]

Watercooling the ram is kinda pointless just because the max voltage is 1.7V for DDR3 and they don't even get that hot if the module has a decent heatspreader, performance wise it's only going to be interesting for people who are working with tons of GB's psd files or autocad stuff. Loads of modules are really not pushing that far, I can't even get my dominators with 1.65V to 1866MHz. Other than just performance & cooling, RAM is really sensitive and it's the most common part which can cause after a while issues.

I agree, the ability for a RAM-ic to dissipate heat is really poor. So any overvolting/clocking above spec is likely to just make it fail very fast.

Indeed :P I had awhile ago a system with DDR2 800MHz and after a few months overclocking the RAM couldn't pull any MHz anymore so I was pretty much limited with the oc on that cpu.

Water cooling on RAM is mostly for looks.

It can look pretty good in some cases.
