OCZ makes some nice RAM but not really a fan of this heatsink configuration. I noted a post by Judas on another thread (that I can't find now) regarding the larger angled heatsinks like the ones used on my ReaperX PC8500 RAM.

As far as I can tell the idea of the angled heatsinks is to separate the bodies of the ram sticks by only using 1 slot in each bank. Using 4 x 1G like in this kit the RAM bodies are close together limiting airflow. A buddy on another forum has had issues with this type of module burning out under load ...

Anyway nice looking RAM from OCZ
