Vote yea or nay on this idea guys...
I have a brand new Corsair XMS PC3200 v2.1 512mb module. I also have a copper heatspreader lying around collecting dust. I'm wondering if I should remove the aluminum spreader and frag tape that Corsair uses and replace it with the copper spreader and Arctic Alumina?
Sure I worry about voiding the warranty, but I do know how to remove heat spreaders safely, and I'd keep it safe if I ever needed to RMA the stick. I haven't installed the memory yet becasue I've gotta switch out my motherboard first. I'm just wondering if you think changing the heatspreader would be worth the effort.
