3. Making a Memory Cooler:
I had never really thought about my RAM too much until I hit the FSB wall and with the 4850 causing instability I was thinking extra cooling here might help. The true inspiration came from the following guide for making your own memory cooler;

HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN MEMORY COOLER(56K UN-FRIENDLY) - Overclockers Australia Forums

I had some nylon washers lying around so I added one to each bolt right below the fan to assist with vibration dampening (rubber washers would be the best).
