RAM Waterblock Compatibility

Jacob_S

I am looking to use Thermaltake Pacific A2 Ultra(https://www.thermaltakeusa.com/pacific-a2-ultra-memory-water-block.html) for an over the top Custom Loop. 

I am looking to use Corsair Vengeance RGB 64 GB (4 x 32 GB) DDR5-6000 CL40 Memory. Would this be compatible? If yes, would I have to remove the RGB top part of can I put it in as is?

Are you saying to liquid cool RAM? Don't do this, waste of your time and money. Hell even ram with heat spreaders don't get hot never mind water cooling! Also get some lower cl latency ram (like cl36)

Message me on discord (bread8669) for more help

The Point is to be overboard, it is for a future 15K Build with 30 fans in the 1000D. I am just checking on compatibility

you should look into m.2 watercooled too then?  as there exist waterblocks for it... 

generaly.. all ram chips are about same size, when they are disassembled from "cooling" and rgb.  buy something NOT rgb as it's a waste.

Just...don't.  There's no benefit at all and even if you're trying to look super 1337 hardcore baller...guys like me who give a shit already know that you're just tryharding if you're watercooling ram.  And I'm looking at "I want to watercool DDR5-6000" like...bro...buy a higher end kit first.

Avoid RGB RAM, it'll have stuff soldered on to make the RGB work. Get the best speed/timings kit you can find with the simplest possible heat spreaders so they'll be easier to remove. You have to strip the RAM down to the bare DIMM, then apply the included heat spreaders, which then hook/screw/stick via thermal pad/paste or otherwise attach to the RAM block.

How far in the future? If it's something you actually intend to build, then don't get set on any PC components until you actually have the money, there will be faster hardware out by then. If it's just a meme build then no prob, just don't post it here as we don't appreciate those.

The reason to water cool your RAM is if you are overclocking it to the moon and back. I'm talking DDR5 8400+ CL34 1.6V VDDQ and a tREFI of 262143. If you're not doing something like that, this is a bad idea. For any other settings, a fan in the general direction is plenty, either that or custom heat spreaders. In this situation right here, it's inconvenience for the sake of inconvenience, and it doesn't even look that good. 

 

With 4 dual rank DIMMs, you're not going to be doing RAM overclocking, heck you're probably not even going to get it to DDR5 6000. This is beyond pointless.

Got that covered, the point is to have tons of tubes, so as long as it doesnt bring down performance, I am good with it:

Although its a waste of money, it looks baller.. lol

 

Its your money to waste in the end, but you should contact there customer support to your question. Have them email you with unit compatibility, a list of said unit compatibility or direct you at some designated website to where you can obtain this info. But make sure THEY give you written confirmation in case it doesn't work for you. You will have email correspondence to fall back on.
