You mean on a single chip?

>You mean on a single chip?
No. I just want 2 8GB sticks without all this heatspreader bullshit.

It seems like the RAM without the gay covers is even more expensive.
>>
Look for kingston. They have heat spreaders but they have a fairly low profile
>>
>>51806405
why do you honestly care? just get some Generic heatspreaders off ebay.
>>
>>51806552
Not him, but that's what I found.

crucial ballistix sport are very low profile
>>
Heatspreaders are removable, ya dingus.
>>
>>51806405
kingston makes these

look for anything that's called "value ram".
Which are literally the same shit but without memespreaders hence lower price/GB
>>
Why don't you just remove the heat spreaders and shut the fuck up already?

They do bum fuck all presuming your case has some semblance of airflow.

Git gud.

>>51806675
nigga I love me some valueram.
>>
>>51806465
I still haven't seen an ECC stick with an heat spreader
>>
>>51806405
I picked up a 1.35v ddr3 8gb module with no heatspreader from ebay so yea, it is possible.
>>
>>51806639
>>51806630
Wouldn't they be a pain to remove? I imagine there is paste between the spreader and every chip.
>>
>>51806899
most companies just use thermal pads across the entire heat spreader. it's pretty simple to remove
