Mushkin PC3200 Level II Review @ Extreme Overclocking

"The memory uses copper heat spreaders with the Mushkin Logo to help dissipate the heat generated by the chips. Many enthusiasts feel that heat spreaders greatly aid in overclocking, but in our experience, we have had about the same results with or without heat spreaders unless extreme voltages like 3V+ are applied. This is only from our experiences though and may differ for other users. If the heat spreaders are removed, it will void the warranty and we highly recommend not removing them unless you really want to waste a lifetime warranty."
Yes it is official, heatspreaders don't do anything to help performance but they do look sweet and give a little sense of security when installing the modules.
