I have the 800Mhz version of this ram 2x2Gb.

Its been in my new Phenom system for about 3 months and on my fisrt major system clean I noticed that the heatsink has started to move down and outwards at an angle. Has anyone else had problems with Ram that has weighty heatsinks?

At first glance I thought the ram had come loose from the mobo.

Going to leave my system going for a while under mem stress and syy if i canr reposition the heatsinks and then tighten the screws if possible.
 
Be careful it doesn't fall of and damaged some other part of your system. Best thing to do would be to RMA the ram and get a replacement set.

Yeah, was thinking of doing that but by the looks of it OCUK dont have them in stock, they arnt even listed anymore so I doubt they will be getting any more.

Unless I opt for 1066 versions ;)
