The heat spreader doesn’t necessarily make the temperature better, but it moves the heat from the chips to them fins, making heat dissipation more evenly throughout the whole module, without leaving hot-spots. Theoretically, it should allow for better overclocking. Patriot Viper memory is not a low profile memory.
