 |  Corsair TEC-Based Cooling Solution for Memories During CES 2009 Corsair displayed their forthcoming TEC-based water-cooling solution for memory modules. We were able to take a good look on this system. We saw a system with this solution working. We were impressed to see that temperature on the memory module heatsink was only around 10º C!  http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/678

| 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. |

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

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

| 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. |

| 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 ? |
