Yeah, an actual heatsink rather than just a plate will give you far better cooling results, most of the ram cooling solutions are comprised of heatsinks which are just Al plates due to space constriction around the dimm/rimm slots. However if you have room, a little vid card ram kit can work wonders on those ram sticks, just remember to use some sort of thermal stuffbe it adhesive or grease) which is better than the tape that comes standard with vid card ram sinks.

Regarding your copper wire thoery, it is possible, however just adding the wire will increase the air cooling abilities significantly. I think the heat that would come along the cable would cool a significant amount before it reaches the water coolign source, but my thought on that is based upon information i don't really know: the distance between the two, the amount of heat, the size of cable, etc.

A quick water cooling solution to this problem is to add some copper pipe to your cooling loop. This copper section of the loop can act as a water block all on its own, just press it up against the ram chips/or the plate on your ram, a couple clamps or something holding that copper pipe up nice and tight would increase the cooling way beyond "wicking."

Hope that helps!
