Zalman VGA Ramsinks

[TimG]

I'm thinking about buying a ZALMAN VF700-CU but I heard that the ramsinks that come with it are no good. After doing some reading, the SWIFTECH MC14 ramsinks seem to have a lot of positive comments. Should I go and buy a Zalman VGA fan without ramsinks and buy the Swiftech ramsinks, or are the ones that come with the VF700-CU good enough?

RAMSinks don't really do that much to be honest and is more about looks. People on XS have had no tangiable gain with ramsinks over just letting air pass over GDDR3 as it runs pretty cool even with voltages increased. I'd say stick with the Zalman ones personally

Okay, thanks. Maybe I'll just get one of the Zalmans with LEDs in it or something. If there's no real performance gain, then there's no real point in spending extra money on them.
