Ram Heat Spreaders

[tallman45]

I saw that Muskin has weekend specials on their pc3200 mem that look like good deals but these do not have heat spreaders.

How important are heat spreaders ?

you don't really need them... just eyecandy. crucial still sells their ram without heat spreaders.

They are not important at all,mainly just for show.

Thanks,

Anyone try the Mushkin Promo build Pc3200 ram ?

 

[boyRacer]

It uses Winbond BH5 chips... same thing on my Corsairs... rock solid so far.

active cooling for ram is unnecessary IMO
