Do they make them, how much, do they work well. Simple enough! thanks!

memory water blocks

sounds easy to make... take a stick of copper, width and length of a ram heat spreader. take a channel out of the middle of it shallow since you dont have much space. and put a top on it. barbs on the end, use thermal epoxy to put it on.
might only be able to do 1 side and thats still assuming you have a MOBO where 2 slots are seperated further than the rest.

I've made a set but haven't used them yet. Need to finish the final waterblock, probably this summer.

Unless you wanna go hardcore or fanless or something, they're really not necessary, especially for 'normal' overclocking. You probably wouldn't see any gain unless you take that memory up above 3.5v or so.

All you really need to do is take copper tubing and have it run along the memory chips. It will displace the heat better than heat spreaders do, but it would be a pain to set up I would think.

overclockershideout used to make'em
maybe there are still a few out there...
saw one for sale on ebay about a year ago..

Carve out a single block so it fits over all of the banks of memory at once instead.ares350 said:
as I just think to myself....
how bought a square aluminum pipe. weld/solder barbs on the end, and the flat sides let you just strap it right on with thermal epoxy or spring loaded clamps.
as I think about that, it would be very easy. even better if you get a thin sheet of copper and work it into a square tube, solder it sealed, barbs ect. I dont know if they sell copper in square tubes off the shelf. plus with sheeting youd be able to make it thinner for better heat transfer.
itd be very little resistance, and not particularly great transfer, but you dont need a whole lot.

copper would probably be a better idea, but that sounds pretty close to the blocks corndog was talking about. Seems like concensous is: only legit when in extreme circumstances. So, somebody running high voltage on ram, wanna try it out?
or someone that would run extreme voltage with proper cooling.
or somebody that wants to run without any fans.
or somebody that just likes to play with watercooling and would want to make a simple block.
so what would you use to do this, normal electric solder, or use lead solder? and how about the gaps, fill em with jbweld, or ... I guess you could solder a thick endcap, thread it, and put the barb in like that.

Wouldn't be too bad if you had the right tools. I'm pretty sure I could pull it off, but I only have one stick, so I didn't have to. And yes, I plan to do some extreme memory overclocking when I can get my *** moving on the final waterblock. Probably sometime after finals which are next week.
