Removing Heatsink From Corsair Vengeance

The new corsair Vengance series RAM comes with huge heat sinks or heat spreaders.

In my opinion, if you dont over clock your computer, then you dont need any heat sinks for your RAM, Moreover the cooler master hyper 212 Plus CPU fan was also blocking one of the RAM Slot.

So, the solution is simple,
1) Pop open the nubs from the slots on the either side of the RAM ( flat head screw driver would work fine)
2) Take your home hair dryer, blow hot air on either side of the RAM,
3) Slowly and gently pull the head sink from either side of the RAM
4) Remove any glue stuck on the chip ( just rub on the chip with your finger )
