i think khledar is right, both about the air cooling with the wick & the water cooling tubes. i was wondering myself how i would incorporate my RIMMs into the loop. the copper tube/clamp idea sounds like it would work well. it kinda sounds sketchy though; i'm reluctant to cut open my lines & bleed my system all over again to see how well it works without considering something slicker. i'd like to drill the rivets out of the Al heatsink plates & ditch them for thin water blocks on both sides of my RIMMs. i would like to see if anyone has played with making blocks that screw on bare RIMMs.
i'm thinking about trying it with copper plates with thin bar-stock sandwiched between to make walls. it would be an open channel (no fancy zigzags), but it could be made thin enough to cool both sides & would certainly r0x0r Al plates. if i had a shop i could make some out of soldered copper plate.
