see i used to have some generic ddr 2100 ram ind it didn't have a heat spreader on it like my new stick of 512 / 2700 corsair xms does. and the old generic ram never got hot at all and was pretty fast as well. but when i went to take of my old hsf last night i touched the ram heat spreader and IT WAS BLAZING HOT! is it supposed to be so hot like that? i kinda thought that the heat spreaders were just for show, but now (after touching it) i'm wondering if they actualy add heat.
