These are great for HTPC's they can cool very well, but you have to get LP ram like the CORSAIR Vengeance LP

I have always thought the Shuriken was brilliant design... I see they improved it.

Why does LP RAM need heatsinks?

For doing a custom mod HTPC that has a window.

But you are right for 95% of HTPC no need for heatsinks.

You've got a point there.

Too bad that "low profile" RAM is actually the standard RAM height... corsair is just one of many manufacturers which have been going with gaudy 1.5x+ height heatsinks on all of their kits recently.

Something like this is actually low profile RAM, not just standard profile...

Doesn't stick up above the slot.

Whoa, i had had misread that as "low power" instead of "low profile"! Those corsair sticks looked perfectly normal-height to me.

Yeah I got 2 of those sticks right here, but yea I used those Corsair as a example of LP ram with small heatsinks that will fit.

I put the original shiruken cooler in a HTPC I built for a mate of mine, the case was an Antec 1380 cube case and it couldn't handle the heat of a 550be unlocked to 3 cores, bear in mind it is quite warm where I live. I wasn't that impressed with it, the low profile fan also died a short time after fitting it. Maybe this new design is more efficient.
