I have a sapphire Radeon 9800 pro and I noticed the ram chips were getting pretty toasty with no heatsinks on them even at stock speeds.

I have seen the tweak monster chrome ones and also I think they were thermaltake's copper sinks with very fine fins.

Are there any good ram sinks that you guys suggest?

Also I was looking at a vga silencer to replace the current heatsink/fan on the card, would ram sinks get in the way of that?

Thanks in advance.
 
Ufokillerz is selling them for $6.40 shipped for a set of 8 in the FS/FT forum. I got mine in the other day, they are quite nice.

Will they work with the VGA Silencer??? I want to get one of them as soon as SVC gets them back in stock, and want to go with some ram sinks as well, but only if they will fit.
 
Get you some OCZ coppers ...I think I got 5mhz more on the mem clocks by adding them, But they do keep the memory cooler (10 degrees Farenheit cooler) In my opinion it's worth it , and they work with the VGA sliencer

Tweakmonsters also work with the VGA Silencer, if I remember correctly.

Thats what I wanted to hear, real world stories with detail.

I will have to check those out. They seem pretty cheap compared to the tweak monsters.

Thanks for the great advice. I do have one question for you though..........what are the two tubes coming off the video card with the red and black caps on them for???
 
Caps for both volt mods

probably put them on so they dont come inconctact with any part of the pcb causing a short
