cut to size and need to drill some holes with 9mm drill bit then tape with 10mm tapper for the barbs.
drilling holes so deep is not easy and no way i can do it with hand drill.
when to a fren's workshop to use his drill bench and spend more then 2hr for 4 holes.

damn ugly got to think of another way to make a nice nice pair with acrylic

[Urlyin]

Nice work Kelvan ... I would have liked to seen the block taped and screws other than the self threading ones to the angles as well but over all I'd say you did a good job ... how snug is the fit on the memory, would a retainer on the angle help apply more pressure to the memory ... of course some stats on the cooling would be nice .... :toast:

[tony929292]

very nice , did you ever think of making one block that holds 4 dimms and how think the metal is between the dimms and the water it self or you could and fins in the water hole of the block sorry just day dreaming very cool though

[D_o_S]

Looks cool :)

What is the performance like? Can you OC your memory more than with a normal fan blowing over your memory?

[kelvan]

just make this pair for fun and never expect that it can perform well.
sad to say that never gain more then 5mhz:cry:
but do enjoy the fun of making it:toast:
