First Retail Water-Cooled DDR2 Memory Tested

Twistedmelon writes "We've all heard of water cooling for processors and even graphics processors, in today's high end PCs. However, a water cooled memory module is something that hasn't been done until now. OCZ Technology recently announced their line of Flex XLC Water-Cooled RAM, with its integrated heat-spreaders that can be connected to any standard water cooling system. The memory operates much cooler under load with tight timings at DDR2-800 speeds. For those with water-cooling setups, these DIMMs could easily be tapped into an existing system allowing for quiet and robust cooling for your system memory as well."

    ...it's a good idea to RTFA, or even RTFS. These are the first liquid-cooled memory modules. This is not the first liquid cooling solution for memory modules. These are simply the first modules with liquid cooling built in.

    As annoyed as I am with THAT, I am a thousand times more annoyed with the moderators who modded you up. They clearly didn't read the article (or even the summary) either and should be consigned to the hell of a thousand anonymous cowards for their sins.
