    Has anyone used them before? If so how much more can you overclock the fsb (memory) if any? Just trying to find out if its worth the trouble of installing them.

    Thumbs down Probably none...

    By all accounts...RAM sinks don't actually help on mainboard RAM. They *may* help on video cards and other systems where the RAM is run at extremely high frequencies and the timing is a critical dependency, but in most cases, no...they don't help. In fact, the loss of your extra DIMM slots (Translated : Less RAM capability) is probably a greater speed loss than having a chance at a few more MHz.

    Yeah.. I don't think I could imagine a use (or space for that matter) on system RAM.. (unless someone could show me a picture, or article.. something to show me wrong..

    Put those sinks where you can use them. Like on the video card and overclock away!
