How would you go about fitting a fan above some memory so it has cooling? I have seen the Corsair Dominator cooler but have no idea how its mounted above the memory. Are they somehow suspended above it, or do they clip onto the memory?

With 2.1v going through my memory it gets more toasty than anything else in my case
 
So in other words, i need something thats bendy and can fit into a motherboard screw hole. Then just poke the other end through a fan.

Might try it with a bunch of those old pipe cleaners you used to get at school. Then poke through 2 holes on a 60 or 80mm fan
 
Hasn't it been proven time and again that heatspreaders, let alone more complex cooling do the square root of zilch for memory performance?

It must do something, when i put my hand above my memor, its hotter than putting my hand above a heated frying pan! think ill just try and get a fan over them. Those custom heatsinks do look good though. Is there a way of monitoring memory temperature, other than using a probe
