Sniper heat spreaders falling off

[Games Dean]

Hi Guys:-)

I was just inside my PC and happened to find that the heat spreaders on my RAM aren't sticking to the RAM anymore. I was just wondering if there is any kind of product I can buy to glue them back on. This is my RAM:

G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory Model F3-14900CL9D-8GBSR



Also, while browsing the forums for a possible answer, I came across this thread:

and was just wondering. what does this mean exactly? I've had my RAM for 5 years now, have I not been utilizing it properly since? Here are my specs:

MotherBoard - GIGABYTE GA-990XA-UD3 AM3+ AMD 990X + SB950 6 x SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

CPU - AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Deneb Quad-Core 3.2 GHz Socket AM3 125W HDZ955FBGMBOX Processor

RAM - G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory Model F3-14900CL9D-8GBSR

CPU Freq - 200
Memory Clock - 8X
CPU Clock Ratio - AUTO
CPU NB Frea - AUTO
Timings - AUTO, and I can't tell which timings are what, don't have my manual anymore


Thanks for any help.

you can remove them and the memory will work fine

OEMs uses doubled sided tape to attach them

If you would like, you can send them in for RMA exchange and we can send you new modules:

Can I still RMA them after 5 years? Also, is it necessary?

Yes, G.Skill memory modules are backed by a manufacturer lifetime warranty.

It is only necessary if you want new modules with attached heat spreaders, otherwise the system can still be used with that module not having a heat spreader
