The poster is saying that DDR3 benifits from sub zero cooling.

I thought this was tried with GDDR3 with no benifit?

I guess I could get some ram waterblocks and try it with the waterchiller at -2c. Might be easier than getting something fabricated to strap a phase unit to the ram.

Damn, I am actually contemplating doing this now. :help:

...finally! :biggrin:

TBH I'd like to see for sure whether there would really be any worth while benefits.

i have actually got a piece of alu thats big enough to quickley make a ram pot out of, tha will sit on top of my reapers heatpipes. might make it a little more stable at 1280 +

I just see it as a lot of effort/ cost for little gain. But perhaps this will be what the top benchers will be doing to get that little extra out of their hardware? I know that I won't be doing that :p
