I bought some Crucial Ballistix DDR4 SODIMM for the ASRock DeskMini 110 and future Mini-STX reviews. DDR4 runs cool enough that heatspreaders are totally unnecessary but it looks nice so why not?
Well, it turns out it doesn't have heatspreaders at all, they're just stickers!
Sneaky littleHobbitses manufacturers, wicked, tricksy, false!
Not that I really mind, I bought it for aesthetics and not cooling and it still looks nicer than just the bare PCB. But it was a bit of a surprise when I got them out of the package and noticed.
