Most memory sinks don't really do much for the cooling, but if you'd like a suggestion this is one from zalman. There's also one from ocz, but I can't seem to find it...
 
If you're going to change it then the aluminum finned heat sinks are good but IMHO, that L shaped thingy is going to do the same thing. Maybe, just maybe, there'd be a few degrees of difference but not enough to effect it. You have to remember these chips go all the way through and they're being cooled on the other side too.
 
yea but its mainly looks haha 9.99 not bad and looks tons better, now do i use artic silver or wa?

they have thermal tape pre-applied i think, just clean off anything left behind by the Silencer

yup. and make sure to clean off the old stuff really well, otherwise they won't adhere properly. also, don't knock them when you first put them on as they need something like 24 hrs to become 100% strength.
