Collect a bunch of parts, (RAM, mobo, etc) arrange them in a table under the glass tabletop.

I ended up doing none these things.

 

Instead I baked it in the oven for a bit, let it cool and that appears to have fixed it.

If you like the heat spreader on the ram you could remove it and possibly put it on your functional ram. I would just keep it if you like the ram`s heatspreader or design.
