ok a while ago i did a new build for my friend thing it was some cheap C2D like an e4400 with 2Gb RAM and a pretty cheap Asus motherboard
now this was the RAM i bought

the thing is when i put it in the motherboard the heaspreaderes were right up against each other there was no airflor at all between them
i though it may be ok as it would just be a larger area for the 2 RAM sticks to spread heat............ it wasnt after a few hours the RAM fried.
my worry is that this has put me off RAM with heatspreaders now im always scared there gonna be too close together and generate too much heat
how will you know before ordering a motherboard if it will comfortably take RAM with heatspreaders with enought space between ?
