If your RAM already has heatspreader on them, don't bother, money better spent on a RAM fan (like Corsairs). But if your RAM is bare, then I think it's a pretty good investment.

bear in mind thats only a single stick cooler, you'll need a pair, bit pricey at dabs too

this is a pair, though they're a bit big, so make sure you have room first, failing that, scan also sell them akasa's for £4.30, or coolermaster ones for £3 (i just got some of these, they're virtually identical to the akasa's too)

Most memory modules come with stock heat-spreaders. You can't install this over a HS. The irregular contact between the two surfaces would result in the module heating up even further.

get this instead, it will cool both of your ram stacks at the same time and it is less expensive then buying two ram heatspreaders that wont cool as well.
