Malik,
I love the coil on look. I've been chasing that same contrast with the black look since I saw the motherboard is black. Your's is the best use I've seen so far.
What temps are you getting?
I'd really like to know, thanks.
Yep, I use one for my OCZ ram as recommended by OCZ.
It's very comparable to the Corsair equivalent, imo. Quite easy to swap lcds if you don't like the blue.
Like the Corsair they conflict with some AC towers but no issue with WC.
Jedda's gonna hate me for thinking I'm trying to rain on his product's parade. If you scan the air cooling forum for the OCZ vs CD vs cool spot thread, you'll see a few of us sharing our tidbits about our experiences with various RAM coolers.
OCZ's pushed the least amount of air yet generates the most amount of noise, possibly due to the restrictive nature of the grill. However, in terms of aesthetics, it ruled the bling factor.
CD's were much quieter and exhibited no mechanical noises when undervolting. Their mounting mechanism is much better than OCZ's (which has this annoying rocking tendency).
Antec's cool spot is probably the most unique. It wins in terms of performance and quietness at full speed, but the included fan makes mechanical noises when undervolted. The only other drawback is that some people don't have the room for the "arm" of the cool spot.

No mate. I'm 55 years old and quite sure my penis length isn't tied up with any product choice. lol
Truth of the matter is no ram cooling product I've used matches an appropriately placed 120 mm fan.

LOL. Good and I agree. The Antec Coolspot is basically a 120mm fan with a unique mounting arm, but does have the weaknesses I pointed out.
LOL, the office is wondering why I'm in stitches.

Black + clear smart coils = l33t!!!
the clear makes it look plane.
agree. its sick looking either way, and the shine on that left side cover is so bright
How did u get your PCI brackets painted black? Is there a way to remove the bracket from the gpu or sound card to paint it individually? Really nice build.
agree ^^ smart coils with black tubing ftw.
also where does the tubing go after the res ? sorry for being such a noob lol

Looks sexy. I would never mix metals though.

1 question and my $.02:
?. Did you notice any big performance/noise diff between the Ultra and the Pro??
$.02 Green > blue but BLACK FTW!!!
Why exactly have you been slowly removing the Innovatek equipment? Is it due to performance or pressure from this forum?
I think this one is the best looking. I really like blue on black!
Too crowded IMHO

Answers:
1. Ultra is more noisy but the performance is much better than pro version. But with proper vibe isolation it's equally quiet.
2. For me - green is the best. When i use black tygon - it's too dark inside PC.
Thanks
RickCain: I changed Inno because EK is better in performance.
Taking shots at XS members again? Let's not forget what happened to your [H] friend Top Nurse. People come here to XS to become informed, not to be brainwashed, pressured, or inducted into cults.
Agreed. It's nice to toss that aluminum out too without having to worry about mixed metals nor having to use additives and its hassles.
I love the look and setup of the green/black scheme rather than the blue scheme.
