That's Singularity's. I was saying that I wanted to do something like that, and everyone here is saying I'm stupid if I do ram waterblocks.
Yepp, it's Singularity's personal build.

Yeah... I was planning to watercool the ram, since this ram runs warm, and it also will not get much airflow. But Tom doesn't seem to like watercooled ram.

Watercooled ram is stupid /end

Oh, I know it has no function. I was going to do it mainly because it looks nice, and adds a bit more blue, since the system is so black.

He's running a 3930k - he'll never get his RAM up to 2400mhz. Plus he's using dominators with big heatspreaders, and will have exhaust fans in the roof drawing air over them.
And they may get hot to touch, but they need to get seriously hot to actually cause any damage to the RAM.
It never needs to be watercooled.

Except I've stated several times. I was planning to do the watercooling on the ram for asthetics. I might just get Dominator Platinums instead.

You really that bothered about it that you'd replace all your RAM for Platinums?

DDR3 doesnt need watercooling.
The End.
Show me 2400 stock DIMMS without heatspreaders up to the job?
If you actually see what surface area the waterblock cools you will see what nonsense you speak.
OP-Im all for a highspec rig power rig but throwing money away is not cool,those Dom GT's are plenty fast enough

Even the 2600mhz ram doesnt need wc. so i totaly agree with you, it doesnt even need a ram fan!

Oh, I would never waste money like that, unless I could sell the ram off ahead of time.
I don't think I've ever fully mentioned this, but as you will see half way through the build, I decided to split this build into two completely separate builds. One is a workstation, and one will be gaming. It will make much more sense later. The Dominator GT's will follow the gaming rig, while the Platniums would be for the workstation.

...So to clarify....
You're going to have 32gb of RAM in a gaming rig?

I'm not sure what I want to do. It will either be 16gb or 32gb.

Anyways... Build pics!!
CPU in the socket. I really love this picture for some reason.
Installed all 8 dimms of memory.
Motherboard and PSU installed in the PC.

It does look amazing Jeremy.
Have you thought about using something like the phobya fans:

They'd make it look even better.
Don't know if you're thinking of still putting blue in it, but I think that would ruin it. It looks great in Red and Black
