Page 4 of 6 A closer look: All memory must have some sort of memory heat spreader. This memory has the latest and greatest XTC Heatspreader design. XTC (Xtreme Thermal Convection) heatspreaders optimize the thermal management of memory modules by promoting greater airflow by means of micro-convection throughout what is usually the dead air space inside conventional heatspreader designs. In this manner, build-up of heat is avoided and thermal dissipation of the memory components is offloaded more efficiently through the honeycomb design. At the same time, mechanical stability is maintained.  This heatspreader design works a little better than the previous design of simply a thin sheet of copper or aluminum because there are no more hot air pockets. Also note that this memory was co-developed with ATI to insure best possible performance and compatibly on ATI chipset motherboards. This is very important when building a fast, stable and reliable computer system. 
 
 These heat spreaders do an excellent job of keeping the modules cool and look amazing. The all red heatspreader with the ATI logo in the center surrounded by black, look incredible. This is by far the most attractive memory I've seen so far. The red, black and white combination equals a very hardcore appeal. Also note that each module has a sticker at the left showing the model, size, speed, and timing.
