Wise to watercool 9800 XT?

[Godmachine]

Considering the ram gets pretty hot .. would i have to buy ram sinks if i put a GPU block on it?? or should be fine as long as i don't overclock like crazy?

I'd say you'd better put some nice big ram sinks on that bad boy, especially if you plan to OC it at all.

But that's just my opinion, what do I know, really.

which brand did ya get? I know some models ya can plop the waterblock on top of the copper plate just by removing the screw down posts and everything mates right up no problems (like my Asus). I orriginally did that just as an experiment to see how well it would cool and now I am sticking with it as it works so well. Of course, the AS5 on all the ram, gpu and waterblock definately dont hurt either hehehehe

I would do it. RAMSINKS on those RAM modules isn´t very efficient anyway. Better just having some fan blowing air on them.

For vid cards, use AS3. There is not enough pressure for AS5.
