EK Water Blocks, Ljubljana based premium computer liquid cooling gear manufacturer, is expanding its EK-RAM Monarch Module family. Existing black variant is now also available as a Nickel plated version. The EK-RAM Monarch Module is a heatsink adapter which allows virtually any (DDR-)SDRAM memory module (of any generation) to be liquid cooled in conjunction with EK-RAM Monarch series water blocks.Each heatsink consists of two separate plates while the DIMM memory module is sandwiched in between. Heat transfer between the memory module and aluminium heatsink adapter is ensured by the use of an enclosed thermal pad. EK-RAM Monarch Modules set contains two (2) EK-RAM Monarch Module Adapter heatsinks. Each of these items are made of CNC machined high quality aluminium and feature nickel finish (Nickel) or black anodized finish (Black).EK-RAM Monarch Modules are made in Slovenia, Europe and are readily available for purchase through EK Webshop and Partner Reseller Network. In the table below you can find MSR prices with VAT included.

I think there is something wrong with third picture,

Bad photoshop? Posted on Mar 29th 2016, 3:43 Reply

I don't think so. The module side seem to be very reflective and the block and hoses on top are actually on top of RAM and not on top of CPU socket. A bit unfortunate photo angle I'd say... Posted on Mar 29th 2016, 4:04 Reply

Ye, took me a minute or so to figure it out. But it's indead the reflection of the heatspreader, which make it look like it's sunken into the CPU Socket.



Also the waterblock being offset towards the CPU makes it seem wrong ^^ Posted on Mar 29th 2016, 4:18 Reply

It's probably offset for the purposes of marketing here, by the looks of it, you could attach 2 RAM sticks per block (in pairs). See the moving screw there. Posted on Mar 29th 2016, 4:46 Reply

Perhaps they should have used two ram sticks and done it properly. Posted on Mar 29th 2016, 4:53 Reply

That price is just for the ram heatsinks, the waterblock is another 33.40 euro's



This is one of those really unnecessary watercooling items, cool looking though Posted on Mar 29th 2016, 6:45 Reply

Looks is about all it's got unfortunately, the days of ram being thermally limited are pretty much over... Indeed.

we watercool 10W chipsets, we watewrcool RAMs that even do not need passive heatsinks... and jet the high end m.2's which reach temps above 95C.... "nah" Posted on Mar 29th 2016, 9:54 Reply

These are aesthetically pleasing...... but without a lick of need. I guess even the eskimos need ice, right? Posted on Mar 29th 2016, 13:39 Reply

They look good but I think with a CPU block and VRM block it'd look pretty cluttered. They look good but I think with a CPU block and VRM block it'd look pretty cluttered.

Perhaps (beauty is in the eye of the beholder)... but I would think a mono block for the CPU and VRM area + this it would 'de-clutter' that area....



... though, I don't believe in those blocks either, LOL! I mean, even under LN2, the VRMs are cooled by their own heatsink and still barely get warm!



Bottom line is I am not sure the picture did this justice considering it appears to be on backwards overhanging the CPU area??? Posted on Mar 29th 2016, 14:02 Reply

"nah" Not that many people have m.2 SSDs, every one has ram, the market share for this kind of cooling is small enough, if you try to sell water cooling for m.2 you would probably come out at a loss.

EK makes a specialized block for the Intel 750. I'd say universal M.2 has more of a market than just the 750. EK makes a specialized block for the Intel 750.

Liquid cooling RAM (except open bench benchmarks) it's completely pointless exercise. Gone are the days of memory working at 3.3V. Even under permanent workload stress 2666 RAM on my X99 system never gets above 40C.



Considering everything I would sooner put waterblocks on HDDs if run in tight spaces without room for airflow than waste time on liquid cooled RAM. Posted on Apr 2nd 2016, 5:22 Reply
