I've been harboring this question for some time now...

Is it beneficial to watercool a video card with only a GPU block? What happens to the RAM when the GPU block robs them of their airflow? I've heard that video card manufacturors specifically design the HSF so that the air gets passed over the GPU as well as the RAM.

I can't see video card cooling with only a GPU block as a viable or safe option...
