I did paint some old Corsair DDR2 memory but they seem to run hotter after I did. The UV Paint was from Clearneon 08266A 02759 Green Aerosol Matte UV Reactive Spray Paint Associate Code: 9E88QK5L7811G3H #2

I am thinking that is also why. stay tuned.

Then again, I wasn't overclocking or anything either... Heat http://heatware.com/eval.php?id=64212 #7

You're probably thinking of the old Cosair Pro thing from a few years back now which was more like an attachment that sat over the RAM sticks and cooler fans and had colored LEDs from blue through to red based on heat.. kind of like a sound bar display the way it worked. Was more of a gimmick than anything imho. Here, I found a pic of it: BUILD 1 2 \| MINI-ITX BUILD \| MODSRIGS $1K WIN \| HEATWARE 111-0-0 \| ASSOCIATE CODE CSKKXUT5Q9GVAFR #12
