Dont worry, flow area is 50mm˛ 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

Admittedly I did it mostly for looks
If the dominators cannot run passively: yes it's useful if you want to eliminate sources of noise (=fans).
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.
Pads are not included in this waterblock kit because they are included with the memory kit.
If you dont have some than i suggest 0,5mm thin pads.

Wow, that was helpful, Thankswhat 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.

LOL, they do have some TIM there in small strips but it's not a "pad" in any way. it's the same kind of TIM that comes on stock video cards. As soon as I would try remove it from it's original resting place it would disintegrate into nothing. I can't see that being more than a one time use thing, it tears too easily. I'm sure I can find a .5mm pad somewhere, suggestions anyone?
This sound new to me. When you look here http://www.legitreviews.com/article/862/2/ to the picture there are pads that you can remove easy.
Also the set i got there was no problem.
Maybe you can use a razor blade to remove them.

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.

Thx guys, should have looked!!! Looks nice!!Like this ?

this thread is useless without internal pictures.
What do you expect inside that this is the only important point for this thread ?
It has channels inside with flow area from about 50mm˛.

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 ?
dejanh: Now, now, don't get jealous. That's a very nice block too, just different
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.

Sounds good. If so, then the waterblock should fit already when you connect it in the middle.
Maybe you have a photo ?
