Yes yes I have an idea

Woah!!!! I hear you cry - " the dumass has awoken with an idea!!!!"
Pah! you fools i have loads of ideas, its carrying then out that gives problems - i dont have the knowledge nor the resourses to do so.

I had this idea while pondering over the galleries, especially Digital-Worlds, and looking at the MAX3 motherboard series.

Water cooling. Its everywhere. On the hard drive, direct core cooling, northbridge, VPU, CPU, southbridge ive even seen on a partcular setup - but how about a dare? A dare for osmeone to try something water cooled that no-one I know has tried.

When considering the space between one of these components - its only feasable for dual channel motherboards - OOOPS! gave it away. But its not just the memory I wish to be cooled, how about the 4/6 way volt switchety things that the max 3 considers for air cooling.

I can say from a fairly noob perspective that water cooling these 2 comonents cant really be that hard. the memory would have to be one stick, or 2 on dual channel, giving sufficient space for a channeled flow of water on both sides of the stick overclocking would be a doddle.

the 4/6 way switches would obviously differ for motherboards, but just think voltage switches running at 30C - ahhh blisss.... shhhhheeeeaaaarrrr bliss.

What are the factors involved that I havent seen - should I be copy righting this crap im writing?!?!?

so what do you people think?

you give us a challenge, then copyright it.... do you want us to try it or not?

Umm.... Ram doesn't need to be cooled very much if at all in 99.99% of cases, infact the metal sinks on some of them usually aren't needed.

Its allready been done.....

ns, it doesent even get anywhere near hot for me, wtf is the point?

its like watercooling your case lighting, or your NIC, lol

D00d, I totally overclocked my floppy drive. Had to put it on watercooling, it was getting so HAWT.

seriously, though, it isn't necessary.

OK now let me see here...
I'll bet that I can break less bones in my body,
jumping off the roof, onto the concrete drive way, than you..
bet?...
OK you go first...
Oohhh....
yup you WIN...
I prolly would break more....

Now some needed things:
Ducted air on to H/S'ed MOSFET's good for 2.7ghz AMD style.
Memory: Peeled BH-5 winbond open air, spreaders not needed...3.1vDIMM 460fsb

And I figured those Fools at Procooling w/c'ed a southbridge. Guess what ? They did

EDIT: Bladerunner even w/ced a Gigabyte Power Module dealy

I'm as nutz as the next guy for taking chances....but every block you plumb is potential for a leak, some of those potential leaks are not worth the gains they provide...

Cooling your southbridge is just stupid, its warm to the touch without a heatsink, with a bga ram cooler on it its room temp or less.

that is just what i wanted to see nice searching there gamma, cheers mate.

I think it would be interesting to see watercooled RAM. I wouldn't mind watercooling the RAM on my Radeon 9000 after feeling the chips on a 40 MHz OC...
