I really see no reason to w/c ur ram all you need is good airflow. You could get a ram air cooler instead
Ram Cooling
I never thought it was something that had much value but my RAM gets too hot to touch for long during Prime95 "tourture test" (using default settings).
So I am wondering, 35.00 a block to add WC for the RAM, I am just not sold, any feedback? I do see the really "maxed out" rigs on Utube have RAM cooling but I used to think it was more a dress up situation. You guessed it, BSOD at OC's over 4.1ghz (cpu voltage is as high as I want to go 1.6 loaded) I wonder if the RAM temp is a real issue. Perhaps RAM quality in general? Thanks.
Everybody hates to admit mistakes, but I dropped a Delta fan while it was running, it blew up

I was trying to fit it in the window fan holder spot on the 1200.

From what i've seen WCing ram sets give you like extra big heat sinks that go around your ram...but arnt connected to your loop. If you wanna waste money water cool your hdds.

Agreed, I'm just stating on what i've seen. Not saying they don't exist : D I still think h20 hdd is pretty cool.

Keeping people from wasting money is one of the best reasons for OCN to exist. But the blocks are connected to your loop. |

I think what he meant was that the ram sets come with extra big heatsinks that can be used in a water-cooling loop if so desired and can operate with or without the liquid.
Also, I would be wary of some of the "water-cooling ram kits" as some of them may have aluminum which is a major corrosive element in loops with copper.
