Words of wisdom about memory heatspreaders. “The thermal glue that binds heatsinks will also remove the memory chip”. I still remember a photo that some poor sap posted of his video card after trying to remove the passive heatsink from the memory chips, the board was pretty much picked clean..
"Heat spreaders are pretty much a standard now, and Super Talent realizes this. These modules are equipped with a very light aluminum spreader that's indented to press against all 16 chips on each module. Nothing innovative here, but I am happy to see them be as light as they are. Generally, the lighter the heat spreader is, the easier the modules are to cool, especially with lots of overclocking. The spreaders are glued on, so if you wish to remove them you will want to have the proper glue to re-apply, or perform the task quickly. Removing the heat spreaders are generally not advised with BGA chips, due to the fact that they can come off the PCB far easier than TSOP ones."
