We all agree that DDR doesn't get hot enough to warrant special attention, but my RDRAM will burn the piss out of you. My CPU & GPU is WC'd. the NB has a big passive HS on it, and it gets quite warm. I have a 120mm fan blowing over the Vid card ram, the NB, and the RDRAM.

Is it possible to 'wick' heat away from the source? For instance, if I attached a heavy copper cable to the ram, and the other end to a water block, could that cool the ram effectively?
