Memory manufacturer Kingston has been stepping up efforts to make its high-end modules more attractive to enthusiasts who have traditionally shunned the conservative company in favour of the likes of Corsair and OCZ.

As we saw in our recent review, Kingston now plays with the big boys as far as cutting-edge DDR3 is concerned. Recently, though, Kingston's HyperX labs have been busy investigating the merits of water-cooled DDR3.

Now there's not a huge market for water-cooled DDR3, and its introduction won't make any discernable difference to the company's $4bn yearly revenue, but the dissemination of such pictures is Kingston's method of stating that it will look towards releasing a number of 'halo' products.

We expect to see such a kit at next month's Consumer Electronics Show. Any guesses on the speed of the samples?
