Finally some innovation in the memory watercooling department, though it was always stated that it was unnecessary, does that still hold true with new i7 and AM3 builds with DD3 memory?
Wait, it mounts to the RAM via screws. Wont that really limit the compatibility with memory modules?
So it... cools the top of the ram? I guess you have to have some pretty significant heat spreaders for this to work.
This is specially for corsair memory.
Normaly they have a small passive heatsink on the top.
Pretty nice
i have sold my old ram freezer 4 a few days ago, good to see that this new come with black top and not nickel or brass
also interesting way to mount dominator, without those additional memory covers. btw do they look the same as freezer 4 now, just aluminium plates, or different?
also i'm very interesting to see what oc u may get at 1.65v, do u have any results?
It's the same way Corsair mounts their own peltier solution; must have some merit :rolleyes:
Any internal pics, Six?
yes, so u may unscrew corsair's little heatsink and screw mips plate.
good tech decision :up:

I think it's not effecient. Very small surface area touch to WB.
Well this solution might work decently on Corsair sticks since they actually have a decent heat spreader. I was thinking that this was a universal solution before anything contrary was posted.
DDR3 memory runs at lower voltages than DDR or DDR2 memory, so it hardly ever really needs watercooling. A fan blowing on it or Corsair/OCZ memory cooler is perfectly fine.Quote:

This is different to any other Ram freezer before and specially for Corsair memory. It has other dimensions also.
by the way you dont need to sell a Ram Freezer 4 if you own a new X58 motherboard.Quote:

RAM Freezer 5 Upgrade Bodenplatte

Also we have a Pom upgrade for the top plate of the Ram Freezers if someone ask to Mips.
We did not make any test about overclocking ability.
First thing is that it looks nice and second thing you dont need a fan cooling that produce some noise if you have a complete watercooled pc.
The price will be also low because we dont need to deliver our own aluminium modules for the memory.
Yeah, that`s useless.
Did you test the temperature differences before and after with with infared thermometer or thermocouple attached to the ram by any chance?Quote:

at least top dominators 1866 and 2000 come in kit with fan module , so maybe active cooling is not sucha useless even at 1.65v
We didnīt make any test till now. This is the first Ram Freezer 6 and came just from the machine. Itīs still hot ;)
This is exactly what me and Bei Fei were talking about doing a few weeks back. I like the idea and my Dominators do get a little warm at default speeds and voltages. Since I am trying not run any fans this might be a nice idea depending on price. Any idea of price and availability?
Here we found a review where you can see that cooling corsair memory increase performance.

Price will be low but we dont have the exact price yet.
but they run memory up to 2v in those review
the problem with i7 is that u cant push memory higher than 1.65, well maybe 1.7v
The System from the review is an I7.

This is very nice water cool memory.
Sorry to dredge up an old thread but has anyone done a flow rate on this piece yet? I searched da Google and found this page. I have it installed in my loop and I think it looks great, but someone elsewhere mentioned it could be really restrictive to my flow. Opinions??
Does this actually improve performance?
Does RAM need to be water cooled?
Dont worry, flow area is 50mmē and thats a lot.
DDR3 tends to run quite cool, but they do get hot with low airflow. And if you start pushing volts they heat up quickly. Also they are excellent case heaters, so keeping them cool to begin with will help your case to stay cool. Which is never a bad thing, right? But you wont see insane gains in frequency :)Quote:

Another question if I may. Should I use any kind of TIM betyween the cooler and the ram?
You can use the thermal pads that are included with the memory.
So there will be no pads included in this kit?
should've had copper heatsink that attach where ori. heatsinks(black) go n screw them in same way with old heatsinks.so u get rid of black heatspread for all copper...probly better cooling .
what a waste of money. you're better off bodging up a memory shroud for a 120mm fan run it at 800 rpm and it gets cooler than that abomination. Besides that I think it looks ugly in the first place. Dominators don't look half bad to begin with. Really I can understand cpu,gpu and the mobo but I can't understand harddisk watercooling and memory watercooling at all. It's like buying a nice car and putting a big wing on it. like this:

Ok we get your point. But what if the goal of watercooling is actually to eliminate the need for fans (and noise) ? Small things add up. When designing a silent system, you avoid fans where you can avoid them. Or else you end up with more fans than just a pure aircooled system, which defeats the purpose to start with.Quote:

If you dont have some than i suggest 0,5mm thin pads.
Wow, that was helpful, Thanks :shakes:Quote:

I'm sure I can find a .5mm pad somewhere, suggestions anyone?Quote:

Also the set i got there was no problem.
Maybe you can use a razor blade to remove them.
six, will you have this block in a nickel plate??
If you go to this link you'll see they have a nickel/pom version of the RAM block.
Like this ?

Btw. there is also a smaller waterblock for AM3 motherboards with 4 ram-modules.

I think you have to order from germany.
Cool, I will order from the site then!!Quote:

What do you expect inside that this is the only important point for this thread ?
It has channels inside with flow area from about 50mmē.
I'd be interested to see if you could add support for the G.Skill Trident series. They have a bolt in the middle instead of one at either end. Seems to me that one block could be made to support both brands of RAM.
What about the high fins ? How to connect something over ?
The fins are connected by a single screw in the middle. Ideally you could take the screw out, and replace the fins with the waterblock.Quote:

Maybe you have a photo ?
Sorry, I was wrong. I just checked my RAM and the fins cant be removed. :( There is a screw hole in the middle though. No idea what that is for. :shrug:Quote:
