RAM heat spreader or heat sinks?

[slimbim]

I just bought the Thermaltake DDR SDRAM Heatsink. It came with heat spreaders and heatsinks. Which one is more effective? Heat spreaders or heatsinks??

Thanks,
Slim

probably heatsinks, although both of them are unnecessary.

im guessing the option where you use both the heatsinks and 1 heat spreader on one side would be most effective..

but depending on the brand, and how much you're overclocking.. id go with just the heat spreaders.. that's what i have on mine overclocked to 150fsb with fastest memory settings.

thanks.

my roommate just took the heatsinks, so i guess my only option now is the heat spreaders.

They really won't make that much difference. But then they do look really funky so I'll let you off
