Just wondering if making an evap block just for the ram would do much or is air cooling all you need? Like in this for this x18000 xt :confused:

if you're running an evap on the gpu that should provide enough cooling for the
ram along the way as the pcb and thus the chips are cooled along the way

if you're running a tec on the gpu, i'm not sure, but aircooling should be good
enough (well depending on what you aim for anyway), hook up a 120'fan and
you should be fine.

Sneil I did that once on a 6800gt and I had no real gain (just a few mhz).I can't talk for every card but I think there's no real gain to get from doing that. I just used the evap suction line going over the ram chip (with copper hs). But belive me unless you are running air thight case or submersed, insulation is PITA lol!
