How come Koolance or Swiftech doesn't make water blocks for memory? They make them for hard drives but memory gets hotter than a hard drive.
 
Waterblocks for memory would be a waste of time and money. Why water cool your memory when good air flow through your case would be more than adequate (I have the same feelings toward hard drive waterblocks)
 
Very few manufacturers make them because there is really no point in it. I remember a while ago a guy cooled his ram with water and a pelt! He wasn't able to get any further. Also, the lifespan of an HDD can become shorter if it runs hot, this is not really the case with ram (which doesn't even get very warm). Besides there really aren't many prducts for watercooling HDDs in the first place.
