vram heatsinks for x1900xtx

[batai37]

Can anyone recommend vram sinks that will work in conjunction with the Thermaltake Tidewater water cooling module? I'm thinking of getting one of these, but reviews I've read indicate that one drawback is it doesn't come with any sinks for the vram. TIA...

according to thermaltake's site their BGA memory heatsinks wokr with the tidewater, you can get them in aluminium or copper

Have never used anything on my ram- just 2 fans blowing on the naked chips. got it at 856 w/ a xt.

There is no need for ramsinks on your card. In many cases because of the tape used to mount them they are actually worse then having nothing on them. I run water on my X1900XTX without sinks and it has no issues.

I've asked this question before and everyone responded that using ramsinks was the best way to go when overclocking...... Maybe the vram is fine when NOT OCing.

You should first get the said tidewater and then decide which ramsinks to get or not get at said time.

In response to above poster's thread about ramsinks being worthless; I have had experiences across different cards about vram sinks making a difference. At this point in my life I always use them simply because they make me feel harder core; take our statements at face value but just do what you really want.
