watercoolable ram? or is there good ram that doesnt come with a heat sink

Regardless of if water cooling RAM is worth it, all RAM should be water cooling capable. It's more about finding good RAM with heatsinks that are easy to remove and cheap. Some RAM modules have the heatsinks glued so tightly to the memory chips that removing the heatsinks results in ripping of some of the chips with it. Someone recommended you use Corsair Dominator Platinum and this is the perfect example of RAM you shouldn't use. You pay a high premium for the aesthetics and quality off the heatsinks plus they're stuck pretty tight to the memory chips. A quick search showed Corsair Vengeance and Kingstron HyperX RAM to have easily removable heatsinks.

From what I've seen, its not that hard to remove them and proceed to add your own...

I wouldn't recommend watercooling your RAM since it is pointless unless your'e doing major overclocking on it, but even then, passive air flow is good enough. EKWB makes a universal RAM waterblock that allows you to use any DIMM module. You've just got to take the heatsink off and and apply the waterblock. http://www.frozencpu.com/products/17755/ex-blc-1337/EK_RAM_Monarch_DIMM_Module_-_2_Pack_-_Black_EK-RAM_Monarch_Module_-_Black_2pcs.html?tl=g57c605s2043

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Forget about the bad memories of the past, take the good ones along with you through the present, and look forwards to the good things that will come in the future.

el cheapo RAM can come un-'sinked.

 

good RAM usually will have 'sinks that can be removed (pending no damage to the flash modules)

great RAM (dominators, well..) just have to pay for the convenience. cost-wise, not really a factor

to watercool, but aesthetics you usually have to pay more for.

Yeah would not bother watercooling ram, especially on haswell where oc'd ram can actually negatively affect your cpu oc.
