Corsair attacks OCZ heat spreader claims

Once you remove the heat spreaders on both Corsair's and OCZs memory modules you will barely hurt your memory performance and its overclockability.

Andre S Eriksen told us that the heat spreads are more a design thing then functionality

Some products are designed to make people feel good; look good; smell good. As long as you are happy you live longer and healthier. I am glad the heatspreaders are making people live longer

I think, the biggest advantage is that the modules are less flimsy.

My Kingston Modules where hard to push in the slots, I almost felt like they would break.
