ThermalTake Memory Cooling Kit -- Anyone Have One?

[tornadobox]

I was looking at the ThermalTake Memory Cooling kit, and had some questions about it. So, if anyone has one, or knows more about them than I do, please respond!

basically, I would like to know if you can use double-sided RAM sticks with the SDRAM heat spreaders, or do you need to use single-sided sticks only?

thanks.

I am gonna bump this guy up since I am interested in how these kits work too. Wouldn't it cause a short if you place them across the memory chips?

you can use double-sided ram sticks with these. i bought one of these kits, but only used the ram sinks for my video card ram. if you want the rest of the kit (ram spreader, spreader clip, lots of thermal tape), pm me. i'm selling it for $3 + shipping.

darnit! I wish I had asked about this yesteray, because it was yesterday that I bought 3 ThermalTake Memory Cooling Kits at $7 a piece plush shipping, and all I wanted were the darn RAM heatspreaders...heheh oh well.

do the heatspreaders actually say 128MB DDR SDRAM on them? I've seen some pictures of them that say that, but I didn't know if all of them say that.

in any case, the reason I wanted to know if you can use double sided RAM was because I will be buying some PC2100 DDR SDRAM sticks in the near future, and was contemplating either 2x 128MB or 1x 256MB sticks for the RAM.

on a side note, for the 128MB sticks of PC2100 DDR SDRAM, both Crucial and Mushkin are selling for $17 a piece...is there any advantage to getting one brand over the other, or are they pretty much both the same quality?

the heatspreaders say "Tt performance cooled by Thermaltake" then at the bottom: "www.thermaltake.com"

for ram, i would recommend crucial over mushkin. crucial uses micron chips which have proven to be very good ddr chips.
