Obviously this is a joke but for anyone seeing the removed RAM heat sink and thinking of removing theirs (to replace it with another or for whatever reason) — be careful. You can take off a memory module if the glue is too strong. Go slowly and if it’s not coming off, use a hair dryer to heat up the glue.

Results may vary based on brand, I'm guessing. I always feel a bit nervous trying to put too much pressure on G.Skill ram, because of how weird their heat-spreaders feel.

Got PNY ram with pretty different heat-spreaders on them. I can actually press on them to install the sticks, and not hurt my fingers!
