OCZ kicks out liquid-cooled PC2-9200 FlexXLC Edition memory

Sure, liquid-cooling your gadgetry is oftentimes done to prove your 1337-ness, but in cases like Apple's oh-so-toasty Dual G5 PowerMac and Microsoft's notoriously warm Xbox 360, we consider the task quite appropriate. In OCZ's case, however, we're leaning towards the unnecessarily flashy side, as the company's PC2-9200 FlexXLC (Xtreme Liquid Convention) Edition memory touts both air and water cooling possibilities. Dubbed the "world's fastest DDR2 RAM" at 1,150MHz, the modules feature an eight-layer PCB which hinders crosstalk and improves signal integrity, and sports a "fin-like heatsink" to waft warmth away from the components. Moreover, it also boasts liquid-dispersing units that pass water across copper lines to cool things off when taxing your system. While we're not sure how much this showstopping memory will run you, it does feature a lifetime warranty in case the liquid decides to boil over and create a bonafide disaster.

I'll be buying a few terrabytes of that soon.

Oh yeah...now I just need to get some of these and I can have a fully water-cooled system. w00t.

So you have a water-cooled psu, hard drive, optical drive, video card, floppy disk drive, speakers, card reader, moniter, mouse, and keyboard?

Over.Kill.

Actually DDR2 has reached it's peak spped-wise, and its only extreme cooling methods like these from OCZ and Corsair thats giving it any more life. So, no, this is not overkill if your looking for the absolute max bandwidth from your memory. It's the only way to make gains with DDR2 memory.

I'm not really sure what you are trying to accomplish with in your post, but I do have my usb mouse OC'd to decrease it's latency.

[psiven @ Nov 21st 2006 8:56PM]

Sorry, wrong post, nm.

[Matt @ Nov 21st 2006 9:04PM]

wait im confused was that to me or someone else?

[Dave Pevsner @ Nov 21st 2006 9:06PM]

i've always wondered if they do liquid-cooled PSUs. it'd have to be built with a completely leakproof system or use non-conductive coolant, because if the PSU shorts, it doesnt just die, it fries the entire computer/scorches.

some people have too much money to spend

[Rick @ Nov 21st 2006 9:54PM]

another retarded giant step sideways, memory maxed out at 1000, and still the rest of system at max of 100. What we need is a solid state harddrive.

[Rob @ Nov 21st 2006 11:52PM]

i need to water-cool my unit.

[Isaac @ Nov 22nd 2006 11:25AM]

So, could someone point me towards the motherboard that's capable of handling 1,150Mhz DDR2 RAM stably?

Water-cooled PSU, however... now *that* is more useful, if for no other reason that noise reduction. Although 500W is a little skimpy these days.

Where's my quantum computing, damnit?! I was promised quantum computing, flying cars, nanobots, and holodecks by 2010, someone needs to get on the ball!

Looks like a comb for a robot Fonzie. Ehhhhh!

always wanted to try and build a watercooled pc. yet to have the courage to do so..
