Is it just me or are these the most sexy looking kits of ram ever?

may have been posted elsewhere, but meh! Such a shame Mushkin isnt available in the UK. With such a great rep and lifetime waranties maybe OCUK should hop on the bandwagon.

im still surprised OC don't stock mushkin stuff myself, my ddr2 800mhz stuff, is mushkin made, just not branded mushkin and will comfortably clock to 1000mhz, if thats not top quality ram i dunno what is, and thats not even the stuff they put their name on.

I for one would easily buy mushkin if they stocked it here.
 
There seems to be plenty of places in europe that are selling the kits, namely the Czech Republic, but no UK seller, its hard to believe. Id trade my corsairs in like a shot if i had the chance
 
so why do they bother making and have manufacturing costs laid out if they didnt believe it did anything? come on, even corsair ship dominators with airflow fans....
 
...because they know people will shell out a lot of money for them.

My G.Skill Ripjaws were clocked from 1600MHz to 2066MHz 7,9,7,24 1.65V and were just warm to the touch. As long as the air is not totally stagnant in the case any conventional ramsink is more than enough. Crazy huge fins or heatpipe setups are overkill and purely for marketing and looks, not to mention watercooling ramkits.
 
It's worth pointing out that heatsinks on conventional RAM sticks are largely ceremonial. They make overclockers feel happy and make the sticks look cool but they don't really accomplish very much for DDR RAM sticks. If you're using the type I linked to above then they're more properly refered to as heat spreaders. What they actually do is spread the heat from one RAM chip to another. They were originally created for RDRAM sticks (remember Rambus?) which were used some years ago by some Intel motherboards. When accessing RDRAM, accessing a certain range of memory only accesses a single chip on the memory stick. You could end up with one very hot chip and a bunch of cold chips. That's why they're called heat spreaders. Their real job is to spread the heat from one RDRAM chip to the others so that you end up with a bunch of warm chips rather than one hot one. Then all the chips can dissipate heat into the circuit board. Plain old DDR RAM sticks work differently than RDRAM. When you access a DDR stick, all the memory chips on one side of the stick get hot. There's no point in spreading the heat from one chip to another.

I've seen better, but never found them fap worthy.

But maybe they would make my fap material run faster?

Maybe not.
