RAM Cooling Options?

(Not sure if this is the right forum for this thread, but it seemed to make the most sense)

I've been looking around on NewEgg for RAM cooling modules and such, but can't quite decide based on the descriptions and reviews on Egg, whether or not they're good. Reason I want to cool my RAM, is because it gets quite a bit warm to try to get it to run at full 1600MHZ (which I already knew was going to happen)

The main thing I'm looking at, at the moment, to cool my 8GB of this RAM is this cooler.

Now, the cooler technically says that it only cools DDR and DDR2 RAM, but DDR3 shouldn't be any different, because DDR3's not really any larger/wider/thicker than plain DDR2. Anyone actually have this cooler/know anyone with it, or have any other ideas for cooling options?

Also, I can't figure out quite how this cooler would be placed inside of the case. I had thought about this one, as well, and I know that it's clipped basically on top of the RAM, following the same placement as the RAM in the motherboard. Any ideas as to how the OCZ would be placed? :confused:

The OCZ cooler will work fine with those modules, they work with all RAM as they fit to the end slot where the RAM clipps in. The only RAM they don't work with are the Corsair Dominators and the like.

The OCZ is a very good cooler though. Its quiet and it looks very nice (I used to have one).
