GPU Waterblock but what about the Memory?

[BiggusDiccus]

I bought two ThermalTake gpu waterblocks but I just realized that it doesn't cool the memory. Do I need to worry about it? What are my options?

Don't worry about it too much. You can put RAM sinks on it. They are cheap around $10-15 for a pack of 8.

You can get these

Or these

Or finally these ones that are the same as the RAM sinks packaged with the Zalman VF700 VGA HSF.

Just slap those on, and they will help dissipate heat better.

Thanks for the links. I bought two EVGA 7800GT cards. Any issue with those things sticking well? I've read a few negatives about some.

...it's a bit late for that, Andross.

From what I've read, putting those cute little heatsinks on your ram will gain you between 5 and 10 mhz of overclock. For $10, I wouldn't bother (and didn't).

Does look sweet though.
