How can I take apart the Ripjaws X

[AlexTheGamer]

Hey guys so I wanted to know how I can take off the heatspreaders of my G.skil Ripjaws X to recolor them or even replace them with other heatspreaders...

Should I recolor them or is it better to get a new heatspreader? (I am looking for a blue one, if you could recommend one.. that would make my life a whole lot easier.. )

Thanks for the answers

Only way I've seen it done is by wedgin them apart, yet, I wouldn't do that myself.

Why don't you just cover the pcb and spray-paint the whole thing?

Yeah thought of that

Thought of that too.. but my fears are that I miss a space and I spray through it and my ram would be dead...

First of all, if you apply the tape correctly and spray at the right angle, it wont be a problem.

Second of all, I dont think you can kill your ram with spay paint, the PCB should be covered with some sort of protective coating. Just make sure you dont paint over the pins, but even if you do you can just remove it.
