Either way I really want to watercool my ram as well as the video core.
Using a pelt would heat up the rest of my system, so I'll have to use a pelt on my NB and CPU as well... And again find a cooling solution for my ram.

There is basically no point in water cooling the ram on either a 6800 GT, a 6800 Ultra, a x800 Pro or and x800 XT. The ram doesn't get hot enough to matter. It certainly isn't thermally stressed.
There appears to be no difference on ram overclocks with no cooling and with sinks with active fans. It just doesn't get hot enough to matter. You are talking maximum thermal dissapations of under 2W. DDR3 != DDR2.
You can spend the extra money for the DD block that also cools the ram, but it is all bling for no zing.
