And you've done the research and published the white papers to support that?dicecca112 wrote:heatspreaders do nothing. Its been proven. Unless you have water in them like OCZ, they do nothing good airflow can't do.
Fact: DDR1 might not have seen the huge performance increase that DDR2 does with advanced cooling but it was always there. DDR2 shows a 20-40MHz increase (on the Micron D anyway) with better cooling technologies. Air alone just doesn't cut it.

yeah I have on both DDR systems and DDR2. I added aftermarket heatspreaders to both Corsair Value Ram (BH-5 Chips) and Kingston Value Ram (don't remember the chip) did not result in one extra mhz. I added an 80mm fan over the top and it add 10more mhz. (This was on a NF7-M an Mobile XP 2600). Then on DDR2 I used the current Team Group I have. With heatspreaders I got 5 more mhz than without. A fan blowing over the ram added 25more mhz. (D9MGH chips) Ambients the same in each test. Same Vdimm etc. So yes I do have first hand experience
I could care less what manufactuers say. If I did I won't be overclocking. Fact of the matter is its usually not true. I want what real world performance dictates. If you look at pictures of WR breaking what do you always se? A fan over the memory
