my 320mb is still working no problem, what issue's are you referring to?

Define "doesn't benefit". If you don't keep GDDR3 cool on modern cards it simply burns out faster during normal use. Seems to be a common enough issue with the first G80 cards, the 320MB & 640MB GTS, and 768MB GTX. Was a major issue with the 79xx series.

With dram, in most cases you gain really nothing when sub zero, completely independent on how much money you spend.

Of course, most chips work beter at lower temps, but the decrease in working temperature is not proportional to the increase in (possible) working frequency.
Or better: is it worth spending $100 for a 70Mhz overclock or are you happy with a 60Mhz overclock and a $2 fan ?

As far as I know, DRAM is DRAM, lowering the temps from 80°C to 20°C does help a bit but sub zero temps is superfluous.

serious ? I expected it to be more effecient because they do generate more heat.

VGA memory doesn't benefit at all from extra cooling; VR-Zone poured LN2 over it, no increase in OC.

hmmm, humidity sensor, first time I see one of these on a TEC product. If they'd make something like that for a NB or VGA memory, then it might be interesting.

a) I agree
all the rest is not important anymore

That's below ambient, not bad

Impressed?
My Foxconn 320mb is so far gone I still can detect errors or sometimes force crashes by running any GPU stress tool, even after underclocking the GDDR3 memory to 700MHz base rate (as low as EVGA Precision allows). Used to work fine at stock memory speeds, but by almost two years I had to begin clocking lower to regain stability. Now the card is not stable at any speeds.
