It doesn't take much of a copper contact to conduct that small amount of heat away.
If the ram chips were emanating something like 2 or 3W each, then it'd be a different story.

I have to say, I've zinged my RAM pretty hard with a voltmod and it never seems to get warm. OTOH, my vid RAM is very warm. I almost wonder if the core isn't cooling well (that damn Radeon thingey that keeps heatsinks from making good core contact) and is passing the heat the other way on the traces!
