[Creig]

8 adhesive backed aluminum video ramsinks for $2.39 + shipping = approximately $8.50 shipped

Sub-Total: $2.39
United Parcel Service (Ground) $6.07 (to my zipcode of 49866)
Total: $8.46


Shipping price is a bit high, but overall shipped price is nice.

Edit - OOS

ReEdit - Back in stock. Looks like they're a whole $0.25 more expensive. Still a good deal at $8.76 shipped.

ReReEdit - Back OOS.

ReReReEdit - Back in stock at the same price.

Looks like BGA type sinks, and more surface area than most RAMsinks seem to offer. At any rate, even with the shipping cost, it's a heck of a deal. Got mine ordered. Thanks!

 

[Lanyap]

Thanks, ordered mine. It's hard to tell but they look like the OCZ BGA ramsinks at SVC HERE that are $6 for 4. Koolance has a much better price for 8.

Are you going to get any benefit out of RAM sinks if you're not an overclocker?

 

[IlllI]

its kind of hard to tell how big they are, from that top-down perspective...

curious if those would interfere with the installation of an arctic cooler on r3xx's

Not unless your RAM's overheating already, in which case it may provide some stability.

Well, since they're RAMsinks, they're probably not going to be much over 1/2", if that tall. You could e-mail Koolance and ask.

2. questions

1. Will these fit under and Arctic Cooler VGA Silencer revision 3?

2. Would it be possible to remove these in the future?
2b. If You can remove them, how would one go about doing so?

IF they come backed with the traditional thermal tape (which I'd bet they do), then yes you can remove them at a later date. To do so you simply heat the sinks up with a hairdryer and then while warm, wiggle each one back and forth (don't pull till they're nice and loose) till the come off.

As for fitting under a VGA Silencer, I've got no idea. Though if I had to guess it would be "yes", because Koolance's video coolers are designed to be low-profile, so they wouldmake huge ramsinks.

Allright thanks. I think I'll go ahead and give these a try.

Well, it looks like this deal is dead. I went to order and followed the link, and it now says product not found. darn it!

 

[Creig]

And the AT effect kicks in again.


Now OOS.

 

[Spongey]

The deal is still there. I think the URL changed. The new one is:

New link

Only problem is that it is out of stock.

Thanks for the objective opinion backed up by such a significant amount of independent testing and benchmarking. You have, as usual, added so much to the discussion. I can't even begin to imagine how much the quality of the forums would degrade without you.
