The stock heatspreaders are aluminum yes... or what they call
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820313009Super heat vaporizer high rise heat sink
however if you follow the manufacturer product link on newegg it is a dead link:
http://www.teamgroup.com.tw/xtreem/t...am-xtreem-ram/
Now I was curious as to why this link did not work so I went on to the home page of TG and then to the RAM page only to find my RAM is not listed:
http://web.teamgroup.com.tw/teamgrou...s.php?pl1_id=1
Moreover, there is a "PC2 10400 DDR2 1300MHz CL6 (2*1GB)" listed under "Xtreem DDR2 Series" however if you click it then you will be brought to another page that shows the RAM is equipped with the Thermalright heatspreaders and NOT the aluminum crappy stuff I got from newegg:

Maybe newegg just forgot to ship the thermalright heatspreaders because look at the picture on the product page now at TG site as it shows these images:To ensure the stability in operation of the Xtreem DDR2-1300 module, Team has equipped the module with the Thermalright HR-07 memory cooler. By combining the high-performance heat sink and heat conductor, the HR-07 can effectively cool down the heat of the working module silently. Moreover, the HR-07 is tool-free for installation to ensure easy and convenient installation.
You will notice that I did in fact receive the green box but I did not get any other box like the thermalright one. Its the same RAM at same rated specs though.
Should I contact TG about this?
EDIT: it looks like someone else posted about this same issue of the heatspreaders on TG forums

Except he hasnt bought his yet whereas I have and already had problems with the stock heatspreaders falling off when installing the RAM modules lol
