that is the ugliest/silliest idea I have seen in a long time.

That is pretty silly. I hope that heatpipe is reversible, because otherwise you're going to have half your RAM slots left empty.

Aren't there a few other G Skill RAM chips with this exact "RamOrb" technology? Have you guys missed those until now?

Way to go G.Skill...more retarded heatspreaders.
