Ok, does anyone make a water cooler for a video card that actually covers the ram or has some way to get heat off of ram, or do you have to use those silly ramsinks and blow air over them? The reason I want to watercool is for silence so if I could reduce fans by not blowing on Video card it would be nice. I have a kit with swiftech mcw5000, for my cpu ( http://www.swiftnets.com/products/mcw5000.asp ) anyway info would be appreciated.

Not necesarily, however future cards (*cough* FX *cough*) may be, and actually my old tnt2 ultra was super loud, my current 4200 is not too bad but I can definetly hear it and would just as soon not. Anyway, I was just wondering if a company made a good water block the did more then cool the GPU.

I'm guessing you wouldn't want to make your own cooling setup (I know I wouldn't). But I don't see why you need to cool your ramsinks, unless your overclocking that is. If your not overclocking then ramsinks w/o a fan could probably work. You could also get a quiet fan or run any old fan at a lower voltage. I ran a 12V at 5V once and it didn't make any noise unless you put it up to your ear. Though it didn't move a lot of air either.
