I was going to purchase those Artic Cooling RC memory heatsinks for my ram but decided against it. Regular paint can act as an insulator and may noticeably affect temps. However, having them anodized can minimize the hit.

But painted heatsinks is better than none at all.

If you haven't seen this before, Tremeloes has a system displayed on MDPC with what appears to be these same heatsinks in white.

Keep up the great work. I'll be looking forward to more.
I might try paint one of those and test it on one memory slot since I have 4 sets of the coolers. You know if the memory temps are shown per memory slot?

Yea Tremeloes build is the inspiration to painting those white

Would love to learn how you can remove those *arctic cooling* plastic badges without scratching The back of it.

i've had a serious problem with the glue thats on there :-(

ANYWAY! enough about me xD
Can't await to see how those ram coolers will turn out :-)
I removed one of the stickers now. Used aceton and a really small screwdriver to pry the sticker off. I wasn't to hard, just do it gently and add some aceton to the edges of the sticker.

The hard work was removing the remains of the glue from the heat sink.

I would like to ask, why Intel X25? I am seriously thinking of getting ssd for my build right now, but didn't get enough information yet. I've heard that oCZ Summit drives perform extremely well.
Yes, the 2.5" to 3.5" adapter comes with the Retail package. I was going to buy the bulk one but it's really hard to come by in Sweden.

The Intel SSD have the fastest read compared to all others, and since I'm going to use it for the OS I choose read over write speed.

Hehe, I don't have dry ice unfortunately :P worked nice with aceton tho
