I hate when people say things like that.

Anyways, looks pretty cool (har har?) but I don't really understand why so much redundancy is required. All the peltier is doing is cooling the ram directly and dumping it's heat off at the water cooling, you are just added more power requirements to the setup when you can just run direct waterblocks. Maybe it's cooler, I don't know, but it seems rather excessive.]]>Jan 11th 2009 4:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/11/corsairs-peltier-memory-cooler-gets-demonstrated/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/11/corsairs-peltier-memory-cooler-gets-demonstrated/

Those exotic cooling setups (Phase Change), overpriced ($300-500+) OC' motherboard, and fancy ram needed for overclocking can easily add $1500+ or more to the price of a home built machine, only so they can overclock a $99 pokey little celeron. Why not just spend the $1,000 on the Extreme Edition (unlocked multiplier), decent air cooling, and save a few dollars?

"Old Skool" (early 80's) Overclockers, overclocked to save money by buying the cheapest hardware they could and dropping and swapping in a cheap crystal clock bought at radio shack. Contemporary overclockers, just don't use the same logic. It remains a mystery to me. ]]>Jan 11th 2009 4:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/11/corsairs-peltier-memory-cooler-gets-demonstrated/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/11/corsairs-peltier-memory-cooler-gets-demonstrated/
*shrugs*

It's a hobby.]]>Jan 11th 2009 4:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/11/corsairs-peltier-memory-cooler-gets-demonstrated/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/11/corsairs-peltier-memory-cooler-gets-demonstrated/$300 overclocking motherboard will get you further than $100 motherboard but I agree $500 is too much. $250 should be your limit.

And this RAM cooler is just the same as any other fancy cooler for RAM - overpriced piece of junk nobody needs but some buy, because its a hobby.

Did you hear even one story of PC rebooting/bugging/crashing due to RAM overheating? I didn't. Proper case cooling (venting the hot air out, pulling the cold air in) is more than enough to keep the PC running.

Why do people want the highest overclocks? It's sort of like asking "Why do people want to have the best baseball team and spend millions of dollars for star athletes?"]]>Jan 11th 2009 11:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/11/corsairs-peltier-memory-cooler-gets-demonstrated/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/11/corsairs-peltier-memory-cooler-gets-demonstrated/Jan 11th 2009 1:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/11/corsairs-peltier-memory-cooler-gets-demonstrated/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/11/corsairs-peltier-memory-cooler-gets-demonstrated/
The real problem with peltiers is that they can fail and if they do they become insulators which is the worst thing to have between a hot chip and heatsink.]]>Jan 12th 2009 3:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/11/corsairs-peltier-memory-cooler-gets-demonstrated/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/11/corsairs-peltier-memory-cooler-gets-demonstrated/Jan 11th 2009 1:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/11/corsairs-peltier-memory-cooler-gets-demonstrated/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/11/corsairs-peltier-memory-cooler-gets-demonstrated/
