I have 16gb of ddr4 3200 (O.C) memory and i was wondering since its overclocked will i need some fans on them or will they be fine? i have 5 fans in my case so i do have pretty decent airflow but i noticed you can get clip on fans for your ram i was wondering it that would be nessairy since its OC
 
Solution
Short answer..... no.

Fancy heat spreaders on ram is mostly marketing.
Ram hardly needs anything at all.
The only time heat spreaders and perhaps cooling might come into play is if you are a record seeking overclocker.
