any extra cooling is good! right?
even if it doesn't really need it!
You already have the fan!! right?

The question really should be:
"Why shouldn't I bother running the fan?"
You may be able to squeek out a few extra Hz; besides, you already stated that the RAM "get's quite warm and isn't in a high air flow area"
Just Do It
Cheers

I don't use the fan on mine, I stressed my ram like crazy at 1108mhz when I got it without the ram getting stupidly hot. If you can get it cheap and plan on some ram overclocking, I say grab it, it can't hurt.
