Placed 2 60 fans@1700rpm (donīt like noice, therefore not higher) above the ram and got a temp ~55C, not good either.

I bought myself some Nexus Heat Pipe Memory Cooler (looks like OCZīs Reaper) and replaced the original heatspreaders, same kind of stresstest and got a temp ~40 without fan, I have not tested with fans because Iīm pleased with that temp, my ambient room temp was ~21.

Removing the heatspreader was rather easy, have to be careful though, I did the same to a set of 4x1 Kingston HuperX PC8500 (Elpida IC) no problem there either but when I tried it on a set of OCZ Titanium Alpha VX2 the IC came lose, tough luck but thatīs the way itīs some time.

Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of is the thermal tape removing an IC. I have my Corsair Dominator fan on them. I'll have to take the laser temp thingy home from work and measure temps.
