New RAM Heatsinks
Hello internet :) 

I have some RAM lying around for a new build

(http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/crucial-memory-ct2kit51... to be precise)

And I was wondering if these heatsinks would be any good for it:

If there are any better options please let me know

Thanks in advance :)

The heatsinks are just for marketing. Its not until very high speed that they are necessary. Some run cooler without them, lol. But for coolness factor, those are definitely cool. They will work too.

DDR3-1600 ram shouldn't need big heatsinks, especially not if they were excluded at the time of purhase.

Why do you want to keep the RAM as cool as possible?
