Anyone have RAM H2O Blocks? This is a odd deal but if I can cool them with water, why put a noisy fan on them?

They sell them but it restricts your loop: http://www.performance-pcs.com/cata...d=3748&zenid=d648a0dab453584d8cb2e0bee615bd2b
If you really want to use them I would recommend getting some F-barbs from Swiftech.
There are also heatpipe models that don't really need extra fans if you have good (but normal) case flow: http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/thhrduolowve.html
And a Scythe S-flex "E" fan has almost no noise: http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/scsf49cfms12.html

I would worry more about their construction than their restriction. Those look like Aluminum blocks, and they will not play well with copper.

Why restrict your loop to the point that other components suffer? Why complicate the loop? Who said you had to have a noisy fan???

Guys thanks for the answers. I'm just looking at new RAM and I know that whatever I get it's going to have some voltage run through it and it needs to be cooled off to work how I want it. Never seen a H2O RAM block but looking at it doesn't look worth it, even though I have a abundance of flow in my system. Maybe if someone made a version that was less restrictive and made out of copper it would be a possibility.
I'll probably get a heatpipe/fin type heatsink and put another adjustable fan in the case to blow over them.

Oh so JDrake is finally getting into water mods!
i would say just get some regular heatsinks or get some hybrid heatsinks that can do both so if your gonna bench mark and bo for high clocks you can just take some tubing a pump and a bucket of distilled and run that while benching and then when you go back to normal then just have a fan blow on them

Opps, wrong link! I had several open - this one's the best I could find (it's copper
) :http://www.frozencpu.com/products/5...id_Cooling_Block_CL-W0102.html?tl=g30c225s558
Note: It should also be easy to DIY those and split a 1/2" feeder into a pair of 3/8" tubes, one for each RAM stick ...
