When MSI introduced its desktop motherboard with a socket for CAMM2 memory modules a few weeks ago, we scratched our heads — as these modules were designed primarily with laptops in mind and they do not have any noticeable advantages for desktops. But the company has apparently thought of one: it is easier to cool down a CAMM2 memory module using liquid compared to liquid cooling of regular DIMMs.
To prove its point, MSI developed a special waterblock for its Z790 Project Zero Plus motherboard that is designed specifically to be installed on a CAMM2 memory module with DDR5 memory. The setup looks pretty neat, but for some reason MSI did not demonstrate such a system in action — perhaps because the product is far from final, or because CAMM2 is still in its infancy and there are no such modules with cherry-picked DRAMs designed for overclocking.
