anyone use one? if so are they good? price? where could i buy one?
Cuz my micron ddr runs hotter the my heastsink on my cpu does, when i touch then, neways. so i think thats why my case temps are a bit high.

i dont see the point of active cooling since they have little surface area, a better idea would be to buy the normal thermal take ram thingies and use the heatsinks on the ram, possable with a couple of fans on them

well i use all 3 of 3 of my mem slots. and i cant fit heatsinks on my memory. so what would be the best way to go?
and if i expoxyed ram sinks on there (lets just say i did for some reason) would that woid there warrinty?

i think sticking anything on the ram will void the warrenty as you will have to take of the label to get a good contact

good point.. but, i still need a wat to cool it down a lil, maybe i could rig a fin, just to blow on them.

yeh, cut a 80mm hole in the side of your case over the ram, and over the cpu and over the pci.. i can keep on going.

i have seen the kit your talking about it clips on just like their heat spreader kits (in fact they are the same as the heat spreaders but one has a fan attached to it) so surface area is ok and if you got a couple more spreaders you could cool all your ram quite a bit. i havent seen it for sale yet just a review and they said it worked ok.

you could also straddle a fan across the top of the ram...
just lay it horizontally across the tops of the sticks. figure out some way to affix it (thin slices of double-sided tape across the tops of the sticks will keep it on there...)
if this blows down, it will cool them really well.
