had a simple idea for watercooling ram.
Corsair Domitor ram comes with a heatsink screwed onto the top

if i were to remove the heatsink, and attach a flat copper plate with copper tubes soldered onto it.
that should work i think.
doesn't anyone know if the top of the ram is flat once the heatsink is removed?
and that is simular to how mips did it.
:rofl:
only difrence is with mips u pay a lot of $$$
I have a sheet of copper and tubing, so it will only cost me a few elbows.
that is what $2.
go for it!
:D
Don't forget to post pics and results. Do a worklog on it. :D
Except watercooling ram is about as useful as watercooling hard drives >_>.
But this is XS, so I say GO FOR IT!
do it !! sounds interesting
ram chips are small black squares. You could probably rip the heatspreaders off and run rectangular/squished copper tubing through loops around them.
well my machine is all watercooled, CPU, northbridge, video card raid card, so i have very little air flow.
when i touched my ram if failed teh 2 second rule. if u can hold it for 2 seconds its not to hot.
so I would guess its at 50deg c easy. so no telling me ram doesn't get hot.
the sticks are to close together.Quote:

Love the idea. Maybe the MIPS block will give you new ideas. It should help you with the design anyway:

Its a tried and working design. Was a quite popular way of making your own blocks a few years ago :)Quote:

never ever try and rip the heatspreaders off corsair ram they glue them on with superglue or something, you will rip the ram chips off, the only way to do it is to try and heat up the heatspreaders and ease them off.Quote:

what i thought of doing was getting a chunk of copper and attaching a koolance gpu-200 or three with peltiers imbetween the chunk of copper and the WB and strapping that to the ram
there have been a lot of testing and it showed cooling ram, doesn't improve performace.
I just want to water cool mine to prolong life and decrease number of fans, hence less noise.
Holy F.. glue it back together and innocently RMA it :ROTF:Quote:

then get my motherboard. and new ram.
still undecided about motherboard. but that is another issue/thread.
Someone here is trying to be smarter than Corsair :clap: :welcome:,But i think that if he didn't glue it in a good way and did mess things up they will notice and they simply won't RMA ;)Quote:

myself i prefer not to replace it... most times. so anything i do is just simple mods. change this part or another. always able to put it back into its original state.
Started worklog hereQuote:
