Nevermind, they're actually pretty bad
Shouldve searched a bit around first, before jumping into conclusions

Overall ram doesn't need w/c, someone on this forum tested a phase-change in the ram and only gained about 5mhz or something like that.

Other people have reported larger gains (not that I know any by heart)
my corsair tccd runs Damn Hot ( very uncomfortable to touch ) as soon as im over 220 or so - and its seems to become less stable aswell.
certainly for longterm stability cooling at higher clocks is mandatory.
for ram coolers the zalman bracket with a big fan is nice - not sure liquid cooling is really needed. i did buy one of those crapp neon crab things but all it did was make a noise and didnt cool noticably.
there are some nice ones out there tough -

Alphacool got some for 6mm hose.. Dunno if they are worth anything, but they at least they dont take up much space..
