Look at the label and then look (more closely under a magnified
swingarm lamp with one or more magnifiers if needed) at the chip's
laser or silkscreen etching. Anything worthwhile seeing, really, that
you can't jot down across the chips in bold-lady red fingernail
polish, like the vacuum tubes in my amps? Nope. Thought so. OK,
then remove paper before it yellows and falls into a slotted contact
and clean off the gum residual with alcohol until it squeaks. It'll
cool better, that way, if within the forced timing and voltage camp of
overclocking memory, if bypassing the mem ID's chipped setting for
BIOS default. In theory. No doubt I'd treat the paper the same as
encountering included heatsinks I pry off before their neon colors age
to grate on nerves of steel. So, now you know how I don't overclock
memory at 5-10% appreciably for a slight edge to much anything overall
worth cutting anymore (save that for the kitchen knife block, how it's
stocked and maintained).
