X800XT RAMsinks

[Gillette]

Is it worth buying some RAMsinks for my X800XT? It currently runs at 530/590 with no problems at all, and I'm wondering if giving my RAM some active cooling (92mm fan mounted 2" above the card) would help push it a bit higher...

I would get some copper ramsinks and plonk them down.

Especially if OCing

I''ve found some Vantec copper ones, only problem I'm seeing is that its impossible to mount them on the front as the RAM is covered (but not cooled) by the GPU cooler :\

You could always dremel them down. I had to do that with an another card to get a water block to fit. The input/output prongs were directly above the chips.

It's not a matter of dremmelings, its them being completely covered

Considering the price of a dremmel and a vice I think I'll just buy premade ones.
