I have added 4 gigs (4x 1 gig chips) Corsair DDR XMS3200 to my Asus P4C800-E Deluxe motherboard and the 4 chips touch each other at the top of the spreader chips. Is this OK or will it cuase heat buildup?

They're fine - Dont' worry about it.

------------------------------ Which Chip? Well, it depends on which set of thieving b@stardz you choose to support: The ones who use insider trading to enrich themselves while running their company into the ground, or the ones who illegally pay vendors to not support the first group.

I'd suggest you put some sort of fan over them.
