How to Remove RAM Heatspreader

[Kenshiro]

Well I really need to replace my stock heatspreader since it doesn't cool enough my RAMS.

I have been having problems with stability of my RAMS and just recently concluded that this issue is a result of Heat.
Well I found that out when I maxed out my top exhaust fan my RAM seems to Run very stable tested in Prime 95 for 5 mins. However my top exhaust fan when maxed out is extremely noisy that it is unbearable. If I don't max out my top fan these RAMS are prone to instability issues due to heat like blue screen.

I have Crucial Ballistix DDR2 1066 4x1 gig. And I'm planning to install HR-07 from thermalright to cool down my RAM for good. All you guys there just an FYI crucial Ballistix 16fd5 really are prone to overheating even the stock heatspreaders can't cool down these RAMS.
One option for me is to install just an ANTEC spot cooler.

Removing the heatspreaders is really tricky since it involves cutting out the sticky thermal paste. Some suggest heating up the RAMS first then removing the thermal tape using a cutter.

So anybody here tried removing their Heatspreaders?

wa pa jud ko kasulay ana bro... bdw, nganu nigamit man pud ka ana na type sa RAM?

try this link...

or try to goggle for more specific instruction.... naa man daghan source bro...

[poldopunk]

dili na maka void sa warranty sa imong RAM?

[bootbox]

aw that will really void the warranty
use the spot cooler nalang sa

[yob]

yup, murag mavoid bitaw... maytag clip-on ra ang heatsink

[spookey]

try gamit atong OCZ na ram cooler kaya...

inside your Crucial Ballistix DDR2-1066 16FD5 are dual sided 512Mbit Micron D9GMH ICs. there are motherboards that run into trouble when u double the amount of memory banks it is addressing(by filling all the ram slots w/ dual sided rams)...that's one of the reasons why the new revision of the same memory(8FE5) as yours are going single sided. try kuno using 2 sticks lang...or bump the voltage up to 2.1V kung stable ba sya...if u think its heat then go for the OCZ Memory Cooler...got mine for 1.8k from a TipidPC supplier...hope this helps...

[isyot_daut]

where can we buy antec spot cool? and how much...am also using crucial mems but its ddr2 800mhz..so far wala ko nag bsod..ako voltage ggamit ky 1.9...

Heat jud to cya bro nasakpan na nako.

Kato OCZ mem cooler fan rman to cya same ra sa Antec spot cooler. OCZ is a little bit fancy. But I would really want to use the thermalright HR-07 although its such a hastle removing the ramsinks but this is the best cooling solution for rams out there in the market. Well I'll try to attempt removing ramsinks first if makaya ba ang risk. Hehehe.

naa ko dri HR-07 both H/L profile kai ako unta ni puli sa ramsink sa akong Patriot...pag try nako tangtang sa ramsink, gahi man kaayo bsan initon pa gamai sa hair dryer...pilit na kaayo ang thermal tape sa chip & ramsink...lisod sad ligwatan ug screw driver kai basin mada-oy na nuon ang PCB sa ram...so wala nalang ko modayon...good luck on your project bro...share unya kung gi-unsa nimo pag tangtang imo ramsink...
