THIS RULEZ !!! :D
How much further could you overclock just with the extra water cooling? As you know maybe I build a WC-System for my Ram too, just with 2 Pelts! :)
I found out that just watercooling gains nearly nothing (1.6MHz) but chillig the Ram -> 20-25MHz more!
Do you cool with plane water or a chiller?
And this Block rulez, I want to say this once more! :D
yea i havn't seen no results ...they r no use if theres no improvement :p:
...apart from the sex look :slobber:
Well i wouldnt try running my ram continuous for 24/7 usage at 3.6v as it is now without it water cooled :)
Oooo errrrr spooky
I did this near enough 2 year's ago...

So good on ya :) something you don't see many people
doing often.

Awesome. You just used a drill press? Thats all I could use if I did this.
Super Bump!
This really should be stickied...this is about the only thread for how to make RAM waterblocks that I've been able to find.
Onycho. and for good reason. its pointless.. there are guys putting 3.9volts through their ram with some simle copper tsop sinks on there.... the watercooling on the ram doesnt get you anything but a lack of flow and ambient temps on the ram. if years of overclocking has learned anything, for the most part ram doesnt respond all that well to getting coooled to ambient. it just doesnt. supercooled is a different thing all together, but for the most part its pointless... stick to ramsinks.. you'll thank me later.
Yes, they use copper heatsinks MaxxxRacer, but how many of those that are running at 3.9V also have a 80mm fan or higher blowing on them? Even DFI advocates using active cooling on your RAM if you provide over 3V to it, on their new boards. Hence, if you want a quiet system, then water cooling would be just as effective a choice and much quieter.
The point is that there ARE people that want to watercool their RAM, for whatever reason they have and this (provided that there is a caveat that you should use copper instead of aluminum) is the best RAM waterblocks that I've seen over a majority of forums. I know...I looked a lot.
So, give froudeg the credit he's due. This is an extreme solution to RAM cooling that looks great and according to him works quite well as well. So what better place to sticky than Extreme Systems?
Sticky's are generally choosen for things that are useful to a large number of people. This is not. It would give people the idea what ram watercooling is something that they should really try doing... and it is a silly notion. yes it is very effective. no doubt. but with a low noise fan (the stock amd fan that coems on their retail heatsinks is perfect for this) along with some ramsinks will do the job just fine even up to 3.9volts.. So there is a quiet, effective, and inexpensive solution for ram cooling..
Well in the case of the ABit Fatal1ty board they have that "OTES" system with 2 quiet fans blowing over the RAM. Couple that with some tweakmonster Ramsinks and you've probably got fairly good RAM. I've also seen numerous 'jerry rigged' fans hanging over RAM that'd probably do fine.
No doubt though that his RAM looks SEXAY :D
froudeg any updates on the chiller you were building for these blocks?
Someone must have tried some type of sub zero RAM cooling by now, is it effective?
Nice job on the blocks froudeg, got any updates?
Eldonko, that was the middle of last year... he doesnt come around the water forums anymore.
someone tried LN2 with 4+ voltage and got 2-2-2-5 at 290mhz but OPB beat that with just a 120mm fan and some good sticks of BH5.
Lol ya, just noticed that. :p:
nm...............
This could be a alternative for silent RAM cooling, but it would be more expensive.
If I cool my RAM like that, I would have it in another loop and I wouldnt only cool the RAM. I would add cooling to the CPU and vdim voltage regulators on the same loop, and maybe the chipset with one of those 1/4" fittings. CPU and GPU I would cool it with 1/2" tubeings in a different loops and a more powerful pump.
I also would improve those blocks. They look really flow restrictive. how about putting the tubes doing zigzags sideways. The only ptoblem with this is that you would have to bend a lot the tubes or add a "U" shaped tube so you can conect a really small piece of tube between the block and the "U" chaped tube.
It would look something like this:

Many of the top overclockers use a delta etc. to cool thier ram... A delta isn't silent...Quote:

What about making a dual evaporator phase change system, and building a special evaporator for those blocks? I imagine a big block of copper with little slits drilled in it where the ram could fit in nicely. Of course, there would be more to it than that and it wouldnt be as vague.
ok guys. grab a silent 120mm fan and be done with it. This is a way better option to watercooling it especially considering you would most likely neeed to build a second loop just for watercooling the ram.
I don't blame froudeg for not being around anymore after the way some people trashed his SUPER COOL & SEXY Water cooled RAM!
Just because you didn't do it, and can live with a simple store bought fan doesn't mean that there arn't some of us who do want to do it the hard way and BUILD with our own hands and not just throw money at it.
I love those blocks!
I built my own, only to see a better way and have about a half dozen of them done now.
I do want a super sexy look for my system!
AND I love being able to say "I built that" from the ground up!
i can only imagine what kind of restriction running those 4 ram blocks in series would pose, better get and iwaki or some huge pond pump to push that setup.
How did you drill that?
i believe he said he used a drill press somewheres.and a really long drill bit.
this reminds me alot of bladerunner's stuff; it doesn't necissarily perform well, but it looks really sick, really quiet, and generally badass.
That looks cool, but watercooling RAM is pretty silly. Particularly if it forces you to use some exotic coolant just to avoid corroding the rest of your loop.
Yeah, now if he waterchilled.... Too hard to insulate I geuss..
