ok. BA GK DW or any of the thoer PR ppl, does anyone know of or played with this "new" koolance memory cooler? is it worth the 50 bucks extra to slap it on?

I ask bcause i am budgeting for the DFI lanparty mobo and the 939 opty and that uber sweet ocz 4800 mem, but it doesnt seem like that mem system could take the mem stick in dual channel mode? it wont take it on my mobo due to the moduales having the 3rd row between them.

i know the lanparty mobo is different but any ideeas here?

also is this worth experimenting with for extra mobo cooling or is this extra junk as well. I figure i could cut the plexi myself, but the idea is what i am asking about.

I cannot think of any reason to install that memory watercooler unless you are going for looks. It would probably be more detrimental to your loop than helpful.

That 120mm fan stand-off is a good idea in some situations, but in most situtations just mounting the fan in the door is better.
