Besides LED Ramsinks look too jazzy. Also wont touching the case discharge the static from the body ?

Also how will a heat spreader decrease the OC ? Ok an Led one will consume some electricity, but how would a normal heat- spreader decrease the OC ?

There's heat buildup inside the heat spreader. Cos of the extra heat, the module will oc less!

Cardinal principle of handling an electrical circuit board is to ground urself.On a pc this can be done very easily by merely touching the case(assuming ur pc is properly grounded of course.)

how would i see if a hynix stick uses the D43 chip? which part of the chip code would indicate this. for eg. the current hynix stick i have now says:
hy5du56822at-h

Sorry for not noticing this earlier. Hynix D43 chips will have codes similar to: HY5DU56822AT-D43 . Just look for the D43 extension at the end on the chips.

Yep, the body of your PSU is connected to the ground terminal of your 3-pin power plug, and the PSU's body in turn is in contact with the cabinet making your cabinet in contact with the ground terminal as well.
Your PSU should be plugged in to your AC outlet for your case to be grounded. Make sure you switch off your AC mains though to be careful, even with the AC mains switched off your ground terminal is still connected.
