I place a 120mm fan on my video card that blows onto my RAM and that's excellent cooling for me.

What kind of G. Skill ram you do have? I have the Black Heatsinks (D9 chips) and they can take a lot of abuse.

OP: Ram cooling is the least of my worries; leave it passive or just put a fan over it, there is no need to include it in a water cooling loop.

NR, the green ones. It gets hot, but a 120mm fan blowing at it is better than nothing.

Definitely AIR! Water is the dumbest thing to put on memory, almost as dumb as a hard drive.... (koolance). It's really not needed. An OCZ XTC Cooler is plenty.

They do get warm, but, running at stock I'm not worried. I trust G. Skill.

I have the corsair cooler, and with it running, my ram doesn't even begin to feel warm.
