Like with any memory review we do, we removed the heat spreader on the Aorus RGB Memory to get a better look at the PCB. It was tough to remove the heat spreader, not he Aorus RGB memory. The thermal tape Gigabyte used is extremely sticky. So sticky that when I removed the heat spreader, unfortunately, one of the memory ICs was stuck to the heat spreader. This is why I always test any product before pulling it apart.
