Adding RAM heatsinks to 9700 Pro?

[theHinge]

Other than looking cool if done right - any real-world benefit? My Antec 1040BXII is already modded with an 80mm fan blowing right across the card from the sidepanel.

Card is the 9800-style with big molex and no heatsink on the back if it makes any diff. May OC it a bit in time.

Thx.

well logically it should its going to dispurse heat which will make it cooler and have the ability to last longer. if u overclock though a better heatsink/fan on the main chip will be the big difference

Suggestions on good main chip cooler? I would like something quiet as this box will be used for recording audio/hate noisy stuff running at night.

VGA Silencer comes to mind.

If your a modder, nothing beats a good 1U cooper cooler modded to the GPU, also grab some massive copper ramsinks, then youll be cookin'
