This cooler is similar like the one Corsair has. Read the reviews. It does cool the sticks nicly.

I use a 90mm fan to cool my ram sticks.

I'm sure it does it's job. Though it's job can be done by simply having good case airflow. You be the judge if the money is worth spending on an uneeded cooler.

I think you are drunk. He's talking about the memory cooler, not the actually memory. You are a complete idiot.

8) It happens. I would love a couple gigs of that memory.

Yeah that XLC memory is basically retarded to buy. I think the highest memory OC is 1540mhz or something like that. I will try to find it, it's in the world record database somewhere.

What did you use to mount the fan on the RAM?

I have a 90mm fan sitting on a Main Power Connector 20+4 pin. Wierd humm but works. It is not screwed in anywhere just sits on the Main Power Connector. I never move my case ever so it does not fall off.
Bad Case Wiring gone bad.....
Here is the pciture.

Is that a Storm block? Looks like 1/4" tubing but didn't know you could use 1/4" with a storm. Kinda hard to see though.

It is a Swiftech Storm Rev 2 waterblock with Tygon 1/2in. ID 5/8in. OD Ultra Soft Vinyl tubing with Blue Swiftech Coolsleeves 625.

Man for some reason it looks thin. Must be thin walled compared to my blue Primoflex. Thanks for the response.

What rad do you have and what are your temps? Pump also?

Cool, similar to my kit but I only have 2 fans on my rad. Thanks for the info.
