nope just leave the stickers on....but heatspreaders really dont do anything, I have never felt a stick of ram get more then warm. I used to run my ram at 3.1 volts with no heatspreader...and still never got warm.

If you do want to do it though...just put it on over the sticker, or peel the sticker off **carefully* and put it somewhere for safekeeping.

I honestly dont think heat spreaders are any more useful then for looks. If you do put one on tho, try to keep the sticker on.

Heat spreaders *might* give you an extra Mhz or two. Honestly, I think they are for show more that anything esle - RAM just does not get that hot.

And if you were running so much juice through the RAM that it was hot, the spreaders would not save. You would cook the modules eventually.
