Nah, good airflow is enough
besides, the heat spreaders they have will suffice.

not that much really, as long you have some good coolers and you know what you're doing, they will be doing fine.

When you get memory errors... just watch the max voltage... to much is never good and will either kill em or reduce their life.

Ok, so should always go for the minimum V possible?

No, because maybe your ram won't get the sufficient voltage

The Doms don't run hot. Decent airflow is fine.

Just keep your timings at 5-5-5-15, get the RAM around 1100mhz, and see how low you can get the voltages. Lower the multiplier and raise the FSB. I have my setup at 6X multiplier and then raised the FSB to 424. This FSB allowed me to hit 1130mhz and still be stable at 2.0v. At low voltages like this the life and temperature will not be a thing to worry about.

Good luck
