CPU coolers are never ever wastage of money. They increase the productivity and longevity of the CPU

But i am unsure about RAM coolers, as i am yet to come across one of those installed in a PC. Seriously, anyone using them?

^^ yup. I have it. Increases the temperature of my OCed e7200 though it has done well on my old opteron 165+ a8n sli system. But it depends on which cpu coolers you are pairing up with and the overall airflow. more fans doesnt mean more cooling. More fans do more harm than good. For a non OCed system, the stock heatsink is more than enough. If the temps are high though, then either the front and the back panel fans dont push in or push out the air enough or its because of the psu. If the efficiency is bad, heat is dissipated and therefore heat circulates around the case. Bad cable management adds up the heat as well. Too much dust acts as a cloth thick enough to block fresh air or keeps the hot air in.

if ur not a serious overclocker, no need to buy RAM coolers.
If u have cash to spare, buy me some stuff, i can PM u my list

P.S.: I dont want to burn a hole in my pocket.
