DerekT Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Removal of the heat spreaders will void the warranty of the memory. You would do far better with an active cooling solution such as: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2552605&Sku=C13-8020&SRCCODE=PWATCH&CMP=OTC-PWATCH This will not void your warranty and will provide a far superior cooling solution. Keep in mind that raising the Vdimm higher than the stated maximums will also void your warranty and it is an easy test for over volt characteristics on RMA. I overvolt mine and accept this void. You will have to as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbks Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Are you sure you can take the current heatspreaders off without damaging the memory chips? I didn't think you could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
