OCZ Technology, an innovator in high performance memory, makes cooling and enhancing your memory easier than ever. Expanding on OCZ's proprietary XTC (Xtreme Thermal Convection) heatspreader technology, the new XTC Cooler air-cools your modules, improving memory performance, stability, and longevity to allow enthusiasts to tweak their memory more freely due to superior active cooling.
The XTC Cooler attaches to your motherboard's DIMM socket retention levers, making it compatible to use with all STANDARD SIZED DDR, DDR2, or DDR3 modules. While the fans cool your system memory, glowing LED fans illuminate your memory subsystem.

isn't that what heatsinks are made for?

Have you ever touched my RAM? I hope not. But if you did, you would probably lose some skin on the modules.
My RAM normally runs about 54C. It needs some kind of extra cooling.

What kind are you currently using? I've never physically touched my ram when the computer is on. I have a fear of being shocked/electrocuted.

Crucial Ballistix 4x1Gb DDR2 800. Currently overclocked to 1086 MHz (aka part of why it's so hot).

That's what happens when you buy a Compaq.

That is exactly why it's so hot... DDR2 800 is plenty fast for me. >.<

I honestly don't know how I haven't killed my RAM yet. But it's running very stable, and I've sent it much higher.

I never really notice a performance impact when I over clock. Of course, I usually purchase products that shouldn't be... 4850.

If you're going 50 MHz, you're not going to see a difference, but if you go 300 on the RAM and 1000 on the CPU, you start seeing shit.
