Because the added restriction offsets any gains.............Top Nurse said:If your already watercooling then why not? Cool ram doesn't generate errors as much as hot ram does. It's a fallacy about ram adding heat to the loop because according to the same people who say you don't need it they also say it doesn't get hot.
but with all the restriction AC has already, another set of blocks won't hurt I gusee.Watercooling the RAM won't get it any cooler than a 120mm fan will, it will also restrict water flow greatly and add unnecessary heat to the loop.Top Nurse said:If your already watercooling then why not?

J-Pepper said:I know it's totally and utterly pointless really in the scope of things... but my reasoning for buying these (apart from the general bling-ness) is that if they can at least cool my memory chips to the same level as a 80mm fan, then i'm happy as i've got one less fan to worry about.
The whole point of my new case build is:
1. Bling-ness
2. Because I can
3. Because I have the parts
4. Because I want to
5. Because, well... just because
So the Aquacomputer Ramples fit's in with each of my points perfectly!
J-Pepper said:Yeah, they are mine. Bling aren't they
The alphacool ones looks to be more efficient as removing the heat from the memory chips, but they use super small tubing (as in super small) and needs messy hosing going to and from a distributor... and they need to be epoxied too on afaik, which isn't always a good thing for everyone, that's why I went with the Aquacomputer ones.

i run bh5 @ 3.5v on my dfi, it doesnt have any cooling on it....i only run 4 fans on my system, 2 120mm panaflos at 7v, and the chipset fan.....and the seasonic psu fan, pretty silent, my case do have padding etc....silence its important to me...for bling yes, i wouldnt put that on my rig, so its all a personal opinion, and i am in the caribean with a lot of humidity and hot weather all year around
Seen them already, .................still not woth the cash IMHO, low flow or not. but it a free country, spend your money on what you want. I use the fans from my radiator to cool my ram better that those performance robbing things and keep a those little tubes out of my system so I can work on it without all that crap in the way..................Top Nurse said:I gather you haven't seen an Aqua Computer RamPlex? If you did you would know that it is pretty free flowing.
One of the beauties of a lower flowing system is that it is not as hindered by 90 degree elbows and smaller diameter tubing as much as a higher flowing system is.
Propper air flow is the key .............................. 
Bio-Hazard said:Nope, not in the least, if you would have read some of the other posts instead of insulting the American systems, you would have seen that I like and have used Alphacool and 1A-Cooling products as they offer value to the user................
The RAM coolers are not about performance, if you have not noticed. Those who choose to do it, do it for the bling factor and because they can!thelostrican said:i run bh5 @ 3.5v on my dfi, it doesnt have any cooling on it....i only run 4 fans on my system, 2 120mm panaflos at 7v, and the chipset fan.....and the seasonic psu fan, pretty silent, my case do have padding etc....silence its important to me...for bling yes, i wouldnt put that on my rig, so its all a personal opinion, and i am in the caribean with a lot of humidity and hot weather all year around
My reply was also a joke,.............J-Pepper said:If you were referring to my 'ghetto' post... Jeez! you have no humour, everyone else who posted in reply to that knew it was a jest/joke/humour/a funneh... you just got personal. What gives?
And also.. if you read my post on another thread (to which you also replied to iirc), I openly stated that Alphacool were better in performance and cheaper than AC...
and look who's taking it personal.............

Top Nurse said:Well you can order them with standard 6mm push-fits, 8mm compression fittings, or 3/8" hose barbs. You really can have it your way.
Too bad the ram blocks don't really let you oc the ram more. They look pretty nice, and any heat removed is a good thing......but I really only want something that has tangible beneifts.SpoogeMonkey said:Make mine with extra cheese!
I ordered a pair of them for some bling, but since I will probably end up sooner or later with the above MB I figure I will really need them for something other than bling. They initially will just go in my computer closet as I am using some of that Corsair memory with the LED activity lights in Feeding Frenzy.
