not necessarily... (sp?). I think some flexible 1/2" (or maybe a bit smaller) pipe clamped to one side of the ram would cool the whole unit considerably. Right now, my two main WB are in series. With the "ram pipe", I'd put the pipe and the GPU block together and run a parallel setup. The GPU doesn't put off nearly as much heat as the CPU.
Cooling just one side of the ram should be fine, as the heat from the other hot side will move towards the cool side. RDRAM must be made to run hot, so any cooling we do would be gravy. (it is OC'd, so the added cooling couldn't hurt.)
