What's your excuse

[Leo Sullivan]

What's the point?

[Josiah Scott]

To prevent you from using a large CPU heatsink. The RAM clearly is more important because it gets way hotter.

Motherfucker RAM chips are huge and only use like half a watt to a watt a each they dont need sinks or spreaders or tubes or anythingwe used to run 10w processors sinkless fuck a fan now every little shit thing needs some kind of metal on it holy shit balls.

VRAM needs cooling at high clocks but thats completely different.

Every RAM vendor has access to the same DRAM chips. Only a small handful of companies in the world are producing DRAM. Samsung, Hynix, Micron, etc. So your companies like Crucial, OCZ, Corsair, G.Skill and others all buy the exact same chips, no one has a leg up on anyone else. If they all want to buy the most expensive bleeding edge highest binned chips they can. They'll all sell the exact same memory with the exact same specs.
Because they can't compete with each other on specs they rely entirely on physical appearance and marketing. So we end up with "gamer" products that have absurd flashy heat sinks on them.
