A closer look:

 All memory must have some sort of memory heat spreader, but this memory has a heatspreader, a heatpipe and a heatsink. The Reaper HPC has a unique cooling solution developed by OCZ to reduce heat very effectively as it's produced by the fast memory. As heat rises into the thermo-conductive heat pipe conduit, it is dissipated through the strategically-placed compact aluminum fin array. By guiding performance-robbing heat away from key memory components, the unique Reaper HPC design helps facilitate improved overclocking performance, while improving longevity and stability of the modules.

The diagram below best illustrates how the aluminum heatspeader move heat away from the memory, into the heatpipe, then up to the optimized heatsink fin array.






This design not only looks totally impressive, but it really works. The only disadvantage to this system is the vertical space needed. They are approximately 7cm (2 3/4") tall.This may be a problem in some configurations where an oversized CPU cooler is used.
