Which RAM cooling is better?

Id say a heat spreader. If the sinks were better companies like ocz would have it.

I agree heatshreader is the way to go with no hotter than memory gets and good air flow in your case I'd say that would be fine!

ditto.

I use heat spreaders, but memory doesn't really get that hot to begin with. If you have good case flow and add a heat spreader, you will never have issues.

i say heatsinks if you have room, heat spreaders dont do much, they just protect the sticks.

if you have LOTS AND LOTS OF room in your ram area, use sinks,

im not sure but on my ocz ram there are 2 clips which hold the 2 plates against the ram and im not sure but is there any thermal type paste underneath those plates. if not maybe ill take the plates off and put some artic silver 5 on each chip then put the plates back on. crap on my asus board its says mb temp is 90 degrees F at times isnt that the temp of the ram or am i dumb.

I thought ram didnt get very hot. All you need is good airflow in your case.

i dont have a case and my basements cold so ambient temps down here are very nice. but yet i believe ram does get somewhat hot. nothing to perhaps worry about but i wouldnt mind removing the platinum plates and installing some thermal goo.

It all depends how much voltage you're pumping through it. Heatspreaders with some kind of fan blowing right on the ram should be good enough for extreme voltages.
