RAM heatsink??

only on tuesdays
but sometimes on fridays, if your lucky

they really dont make much difference, maybe if you live in a hot place...
 
It will help you overclock your RAM a little higher, but if you need a heatsink to achieve those results, it means you're pushing your RAM too far anyway. Since this is highly dependent on the ambient temperature, your RAM will overheat accordingly if the temperature goes up by a few degrees. Unless you have active cooling on RAM, I wouldn't just use heatsinks to do heavier overclocking.

It would of course be a good idea to use those heatsinks "just in case".. It will probably void the warranty because you will have to remove those little stickers from your memory that say "4GB PC2100, Corsair".. 🙂
 
RAM circuitry generally isn't designed to get hot, so RAMsinks are definitely NOT necessity. RAM on video cards is another matter though - maybe that's what you're referring to.
 
That depends! Rambus ram you definately should get ram heat sinks. I dont think for DDR or SDRAM it is a neccessity. It is nice to have though!
