G Skill DDR2 1000 Heatsink removal question

[Bephwyn]

I bought a Gskill DDR2 1000 2x2GB ram combo.

Here they are on newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231145

Mine don't look like that, they don't have the clips, but they are that product.

How do I remove a heatsink like that?

Here is a picture of what they look like, except mine are blue: http://www.flickr.com/photos/thisisbossi/3307117203/

Why do you want to remove the heat spreaders? It will void the warranty.

^Yeah, in these days, with high performance RAM you probably should keep the heat sink. If you are planing on WC the RAM that would be no use too.
