Liquid-cooled DDR2

bing · Feb 22, 2007

Dunno if this still new, just spotted in EETimes.

VLP DDR2 Registered DIMMs remove heat with liquid

Too bad they make it only for registered DDR2 (server market).

Some details, apparently its not just an ordinary memory stick with WB.

Engineered using dual-die-package (DDP) technology incorporating a very low profile (VLP), SMART's liquid-cooled CoolFlex DDR2 VLP RDIMMs use a four-sided flexible printed circuit board folded over an aluminum core. SMART has integrated technology from SprayCool, Spokane, Wash., that continuously pumps an inert liquid within a closed-loop architecture.

The system consists of flexible plastic tubes that run from the manifold to the individual processors and memory modules. Specialized heat sinks distribute the liquid across the processor and through the memory modules to draw out the heat. The heated fluid from the processors and the memory modules is then returned to the thermal server, where it is processed through the heat exchanger and circulated back into the server.

Btw dunno if this thread is more suitable in Memory section or in Water Cooling section ? he..he.

Doesn't look any useful. Would reduce water flow, not mentioning routing tubing to it.

both are unncessary...

other compines make this and it doenst ahev to be for registered ram but it uses 1/4 barbs so it kills the flow .

Watercooling for memory has been discussed plenty of times. Unless you are pushing for some really extreme clocks it's not needed. I've got an 80mm fan on my Ballistix and that cools them down just fine.

I'm not sure why no one uses these. You can put 1/2 barbs on them and cool multiple sticks at a time. I was thinking about building a copper version of this just for fun, but that could cool 4 sticks at once.

Having two sicks of ram at least and running them in parallel, two 1/4" lines will almost equal one 3/8" line, but that still kills a 1/2" system.

How does that compare to not watercooled memory? Another question is how well that that do without watercooling

^ did you goto the link they have the wbs on them

There's another thread here in the memory section about those ocz watercooled sticks
