Arrow water blocks: mem cooling or not?

which do you guys think is better: a gpu water block that only cools the gpu, like the maze 4, or one of those bigger ones that covers all the video memory too like the Danger Den NV-68

I would go with the DD NV-68. I had a water block that only covered the core and I had all kinds of problems with my RAM overheating.

i have the NV68 and its a great cooler and i like it, but there have been cases where the hs didnt touch the memory or gpu all the way, so it would overheat, but i dont have that problem. you can get a maze 4 then some copper ramsinks and that will be great, but if u have the $ then IMO the nv68 is the way to go
