As much wonderful and engrossing information there is about RAM and CPUs, I need help with my video card. I have an eVGA 5700 Ultra, which clocks like this:

Stock:
475 core
453 memory

Overclocked with stock cooling:
530 core
memory

These overclocks are beneficial in many of my games, but I need an extra kick in performance. Obviously, this means I need better cooling. Here's what I need to know.

1. What is the best way to remove the stock cooling aparatus?

2. What are the best memory coolers (BGA)? I was looking at the TweakMonster BGA sinks, and the OCZ Copper BGA sinks. I would like feedback on both units, or information on better cooling.

3. What is the best core cooler? I have seen the Thermaltake Crystal Orb, but it looks kind of lame. Are there more powerful methods of cooling (air)? Lastly, what is the best way to apply this more powerful cooler.

Thank you for your help.

Attach any AMD or INtel heatsink to your card.....you'll get good results...................trust me......make some home made ramsinks with that too.....
