I prefer matching sticks rather than mixed RGB and non RGB stick purely for looks

They look like they don;t really go together, the diffuser along the top of the D41 has a clean look but the LED bar along the top of the D80 has a more stark LED appearance.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

How many watts do I need?

And the D80 has watercooling. That’s why I want that.

Water cooled ram at this time is literally just ram with water in it. The only thing you'll get out of it is bragging rights, no increased performance.

XPG do not say the same. They say the water does cool the memory. So are they lying?

I wonder if matching sticks causes any problems? They have the same brand but only differs in model. 

No worse than mixing kits itself

Not exactly because some heat does sink into that liquid, but good enough to be featured in shit manufacturers say series

The water touches a heat spreader so it counts as a thermal mass, but that doesn't make it a better cooler than a conventional ram heat spreader.

The problem is that water cooling doesnt just work by putting a bath of water on top of something hot. You still need to get rid of the heat that you dumped into the water. For that you need a radiator, which this ram does not have...
