Re: Thermal pastes and heatsinks
DO NOt I repeat DO NOT pull the spreaders on your Dominators. Corsair has glued the IC's to the heatspreaders in most instances, which results in sometimes pulling IC's off the PCB when removing them.
Also AS5 is the standard, there are many pastes on the market that can do better, and if I remember corectly AS5 claims to be non-conductive.
OCZ V2 is basically a Xig 1283...should do well for ya, and at a better pricepoint than the Xig.
Hope this helps! -

Re: Thermal pastes and heatsinks
I use TX-2 myself and find it to be very good and non conductive. Have not used it on ram though, so not sure about all that.
Chad is right, best to leave those heatspreaders alone on that ramComment
