I just figured out something that I am sure many of you have discovered for yourselves. After RMA'ing my 2nd 7900gt and getting a 7950, I decided to sand the tape off of the Zalman heatsinks, and apply them to the memory via Arctic Silver 5. Now, you have to be pretty careful to get them to stick on correctly, but once I did I was pleasantly surprised at the results.

Memory Before: 1600mhz.
Memory After: 1740mhz

This is must be partially attributed to the fact that my sinks were losing their adhesiveness, but 140mhz on the memory from a simple task is nice!
 
I think you'd be better off using Arctic Silver Ceramique. It actually functions as an adhesive, AS5 does not.
