ASUS, after numerous leaks, has finally introduced the ROG Phone 6D and 6D Ultimate gaming flagship smartphones. These are analogues of previous versions of ROG Phone 6…
The World's First Water Cooler That Cools Both CPU and RAM

Although in most cases RAM does not need to be liquid cooled, you have the option to do so now with Thermaltake. Floe RC360 and Floe RC240.
Thermaltake has announced two all-in-one (AIO) CPU and memory coolers, the Floe RC360 and Floe RC240. According to Thermaltake, they are the world's first liquid coolers for CPUs and AIO memory. The coolers are expected to arrive in the third quarter of this year, though no pricing information is available at this time.
Both coolers work with memory modules TOUGHRAM RC and probably do not currently work with other memory modules. Typically, memory modules have heat spreaders (radiators) that dissipate heat. Not only can most RAM configurations be cooled using only heat spreaders, to use them with a liquid cooler you will probably have to modify them.
The Floe RC360 has a 360mm radiator and three 12mm cooling fans. The RC240 is equipped with two 120mm fans and a 240mm radiator. Coolers can sync to RGB lighting using ASUS Aura Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light Sync, Biostar VIVID LED DJ, or ASRock Polychrome.
Generally speaking, RAM does not need liquid cooling. Most RAM is sufficiently cooled with heatsinks, but theoretically you can use RAM and a high clock speed and produce quite a bit of heat. There may also be a future-proofing element with these components, as next generation RAM components may require cooling.
