that's not the question...

i don't do normal watercooling... i do phase-change.. he he...


it will be literately freezing the ram chips. If I was just gonna do regular watercooling I wouldn't even bother with the block.. I would just go with the air ramsinks.


The fact is that the fast operating cards like the R9700/9800/XT series run very hot on the ram chips. I've been testing em, and obserbing em for a long time. The Heat has been limiting me from further overclock. Almost killed my ram chips. There is absolutely no need to argue about it.. This is why I'm looking for some sort of cooling method to chill the ram chips.. I'm looking for someone/somebody who make these and sell, not whether I need it or not.
