We take a quick look at, an as-yet-to-be-named, new heatsink design to be used on Mushkin's performance memory.

"The thing that makes this quite different from the usual Mushkin design is the circular holes along the top, which should aid in airflow, assuming you have some form of airflow going across the ram area. BTX design will most likely make more of an effect here. The holes appear to align with the actual ram chips themselves, so that air can reach down the sides of the chips."
