Well... we can all agree, the review isn't exactly impartial... Regardless, most people have no need to overclock, and memory works perfectly fine without heatspreaders. Its mainly just for looks, I say if you are going to get something with heatspreaders, it mine as well be flashy or you are just wasting your time.

I'm not an over-clocker on any component, but looking at the final results, why even bother spending money to get 4 MHz faster and risk data corruption?
