First Retail Water-Cooled DDR2 Memory Tested

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the everything-is-better-wet dept.

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."

    We'll need water cooling for the water coolers.

    And then someone will get the smart idea to stick his whole tower in the freezer. Then nerds will become buff by moving around all their heavy equipment.

    OCZ is to computer parts what Monster Cable is to HDMI cables.

    These radiators add at least 1.4 inch to your e-penis length.

    It gives new meaning to the term "memory leak", no?
