Those are 60 USD so probably not what you are looking for, if you are willing to do it i would suggest removing the sinks and painting them, its probably best to get ones with white heatspreaders if you want to do that.

 

these are nice and cheap and should be easy to paint if you dont want to take them apart

I would recommend getting some RAM with heatsinks you like the shape of and paint them.

My friend has been planning on building a PC this summer and he wants his build to be green. The only green RAM I could find that fit his needs was RAM without a heatsink so I was wondering if anyone knew some good looking green heatsinks. I appreciate all suggestions. Thanks in advance!

Here's the build in case you wanted to see: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/FF7Rpg

I would go with the shims if you are going with the Crucial ram . Just 1 thing . You need to research the ram a little closer to find if the ram you are purchasing is compatable , I hate auto correct ! , to his board . I think you may wanna go with the LAST reference that I_T_I suggested . It would probably be the BEST Pick ? You can find it in a Higher gig Per stick if you are looking to Upgrade later . I took a minute to research the links a little closer and found what was being offered , this is my reason for change in thought .This is JUST a suggestion -----

On a Third look , You could get DDR4 with heat sink of a comparable ram in the gig you are looking for and just EASE the heat sink OFF and paint them . Be sure to tape up the connection points . Its just Little pieces . but, if you dont cover them you will have trouble getting the heat sink back on . Now that is CRUCIAL . A little punn on that 1 GOOD luck ! Looks to be a GREAT build !
