Sometimes, short of writing everything down (isn’t foresight a wonderful thing?) we forget the product name, but you see this time we have an excuse, the new memory cooling solution from Gigabyte is both funky and downright cool. Featuring a self-contained water cooling system the unit is powered by a single fan header on the motherboard and features a pair of fans cooling a small radiator hovering above the dimms. The system features two heat spreader units with allow the liquid inside the system to move the heat away as quickly as possible. The pump on the underside of the radiator is designed to ensure vibration is kept to a minimum too. Without testing it we can’t say how effective it is at this time, and unless you are really pushing your system the need to water cool your memory is down to personal opinion.

hmm that's a little overkill, but I still want to see some testing with that.

Why can't we have temp monitors coming in ram now a days, we have everything from heatpipes to LEDs
 
I really do not like the idea of having all that weight hanging of my memory, I can see that putting a lot of stress on the board.
 
What a waste. That kind of cooling power isn't even close to necessary for two DDR2 DIMMs.
 
2 thoughts.

how often, in moderate overclocking, does someone roast their ram?

second

Next from Gigabyte, we have a self contained phase change cooling system for your RAM, all powered from one fan header.

That's all I have for now.

I agree with this, as i would love to know how hot my ram is running. But maybe then that would be another worry for the overclockers.

OP: That thing is a nice concept, but happens if you have a large fan cooler on the cpu will it hit, touch or not fit. I persoanlly would like it if they could do a ram cooler with water as that way you can water cool everything.


Good Day
