It looks like every new piece of hardware released these days needs to have a heat cooling system either with a fan or using water and all kinds of pipes. OCZ Technology is ready to announce the water cooled RAM, as a next step from heat-sinks and heat-spreaders, that will be available optional on their products. Water cooling became available in processors and graphic cards and it’s now available for RAM memory chipsets.

The advantage of using the new FLEX XLC water cooled RAM is that when it’s not hot the memory operates much faster and life span increases. However you can use it for longer period of time I think you still need to replace it when 256 or 512 won’t be enough, with a bigger one. However, this is not intended for those home users unless they are fans of overclocking.

The new Flex XLC Water Cooled DDR2 Kit from OCZ gets a neutral review from us, because there are both bad and good points here. You need to already have a water cooling system in place to connect this one to it, and since it’s about water connections that really makes me think of a possible leakage that would be fatal for the extreme computer you expect, but I am not forgetting the mix between the air based heat-sink and heat-spreaders with this new water cooled kit which would definitely lower significantly the temperature of your memory chipsets.
