Kingston just announced their HyperX H20 line which is water cooled DDR3 memory.

"features three products: two 4GB dual-channel kits with 2000MHz and 2133MHz frequencies, respectively; and a 6GB triple-channel kit running at 2000MHz."

"Mark Tekunoff, senior technology manager for Kingston, said the water-cooling feature is desirable for its quiet operation and reliability. Thermo photography tests performed by Kingston showed that the water-cooled DRAM ran consistently 10 degrees to 14 degrees cooler than air-cooled modules, he said."

Didn't know my RAM got so loud that I need to buy water cooled RAM. Might need to check out how many decibels it is emitting when I get home.

All joking aside this does make sense for extreme high-end users that would like to pretty much go all water cooled and cooling RAM seems like a pretty logical step anyways since you can already do CPU's, GPU's and the various bridges on motherboards.

Price point is $157 for the 4GB kit and $235 for the 6GB kit which isn't really that bad for something like this.

I was trying to figure out how you would bend your tubing to go from stick to stick, they arn't that spaced out

I have seen other kits use 1/4" tubing or a block to cover all the ram

yeah, normally its one block that cools all of the sticks together, giving you one input and one output. This setup has two barbs for each stick of ram.
