What would be the best ramsinks to get for a 9800 pro? Or would it be better to just get a VGA silencer?
 
Are teh two mutually exclusive? I would say go for the silencer if they are. I have heard nothing but good things about it. My 9600Pro can get 720 DDR easy with no ramsinks but I am stuck at 460 as far as GPU. I'm hoping some sort of better than stock cooling on the core will help me get up to 500.

Screenshots of that 720 DDR o/c please?
 
As far as RAM sinks go, I'll only tell you that my experience has been save your money. They're on my 9600 Pro now and didn't increase my memory performance 1 mhz. Same with my previous Ti4200. Added them and didn't increase memory porformance 1 mhz. From now on I will not be adding any ramsinks to my videocards. Just my experience.

Edit: Read it and weap you n00bs. J/K But that is 720 DDR. I dont run it like that normally but it runs fine no artifacts with ATItool forever.
 
what would be a better test is a link to a 3dmark03 bench with those clock speeds listed. a screenie is too easy to fake.

Oh for godsakes... Do I need to pay for 3dmark to do that? I'll even bump it up to 370 fo ya if I can do it without paying for anything. Sheesh... why is this so hard to believe?

No No, he's telling the truth! Just look at the screenshot-- THOSE ARENT JPEG ARTIFACTS :p

Alright wizeguy... heh :) Heres the online linkage you wanted. Sheesh, really why is this such a big deal? I really want to know. I thought this kind of OC was not that great for a 9600pro.

Anyway... linkage:

Nothing personal but you putting up a screenie of your display properties don't mean your running 720. C'mon that hurts my feelings that you would put up such stuff. A 3DMark would work.:D The expression "Doubting Thomas" wasn't coined for nothing:cool:

*lol* They're down for maintenance. God must love me.

Ok, look. I'm not lying, soon as the site comes back it will show you. Really, why is this so good? I see people runnin 400Mhz+ on their RAM and everyone is like "meh... thats alright." *shrug* anyway. Thats the numbers I got and I woudnt lie about it. Especially about being on stock cooling.

But, back to the subject of the thread, now you see why I would rather have the VGA silencer than the RAMsinks.

Edit: just tried it and their site is back up.

B4 I go check your link, the reason I'm surprised is because I have a BB ATI 9600 Pro and I'm lucky if I can get the ram to 630. My core goes to 465 pretty easily. 720 is just damn fast no matter what anyone says on a forum.
