Corsair Launches Cooling Ice Series T30 Ambient Memory Cooler

Whether you're chasing a world overclocking record or ever thought to yourself, "Self, if only I could get this RAM to sub-ambient temp levels, I think it'd really shine," Corsair's Cooling Ice Series T30 apparatus might be just what you've been waiting for.
Designed specifically for both Corsair's Dominator and Dominator GT modules, the T30 is a thermo-electric cooling (TEC) unit that hooks up to your existing water-cooling setup. Water block, humidity sensors, and control circuitry are all included, just bring your own 3/8-inch tubng. Once installed, Corsair claims the T30 will cool your modules up to 20C degrees below ambient temperature, which, according to the company's own testing, was enough to increase memory frequency overclocking by up to 100MHz over standard cooling.
If street pricing holds true to the MSRP, that extra 100MHz will run you $199. No word yet on availability.
How Many???

the question on my mind is. is it one cooler per dimm, or will one fit over all 4-6 memory slots? cause i'll be damned if i'm putting up $400 to cool 2 ram modules.
and maybe this is how they break them o/c records......they never did mention if they use any cooling method on thier modules.....hmmmm
The question is, how much

The question is, how much performance can you get on your system if you overclock your memory 100Mhz? I'm not in the overclocking scene to really know if it is worth the 200 bucks.

hmmmm....Maybe, just maybe memory might need to be cooled when it's overclocked.....didn't think of that now didja?
hmmmm, maybe, just maybe

hmmmm, maybe, just maybe there really is no point in overclocking memory.
yeah. since when did the

yeah. since when did the frequency or timing have anything to do with memory speed. and when did memory cspeed have anything to do with over all computer proformance? who still uses 72 pin memory in here? I wonder why that might be? >.<
Sure, it's expensive but your a nub if your still thinking that memory cannot be overclocked or does not heat up. I mean, do you not have ddr3 (proformance) memory... notice something new on it? metallic even? they call it a heat spreader....ever wonder why its there? This unit would be doing something simular just far better at it then the heat spreader. Now, the price point is something that only the buyer can decide if its worth it (i do not).
