Good RAM and Mosfet sinks for the 8800GT?

[Synomenon]

I'm looking for RAM and mosfet sinks for my 8800GT. There was a really nice custom set being done by a member on another forum, but he's backlogged and can't take anymore orders.

These are my choices now. For the RAM on the 8800GT:

Swiftech MC14

or

Enzotech BMR-C1

or

Enzotech BCC9

For the MOSFET (comes with RAM-sinks too, but just need the mosfet piece from the set):

I'm using an Accelero S1 on my 8800GT.

I have a VF1000 on my 8800GT and bought 2 sets of Thermaltake copper bga heatsinks for the memory and vrm clusters. Be sure to clean the memory (I use Goof Off) before applying the heatsinks so that the thermal tape adheres properly.

Keep us posted on what you end up buying. I'll be putting an accelero on my new BFG 8800GT after Christmas, so I'll need some sinks as well.

Haven't purchased any of these sinks yet. Still not sure what works best with the Accelero S1.

Enzotech Heatsinks could work well.

Generally speaking the Swiftech and the Ezotech equivilent are considered the best performing ramsinks as theyre 100% forged copper with a great design. Another cool thing is Ezotech have a low profile set which is handy for fitting on the ram on the top of the card that would usually recieve no cooling as the heatpipes of custom coolers often get in the way of any sinks on these IC's. So I'd go with the Eznotech BMR-C1 and Enzotech BCC9, if you dont already have mosfet sinks then definitely get them as that area runs very hot and without cooling could probably damage your card.

Are the mosfet sinks that come in the Thermalright set, the only ones made specifically for the 8800GT?

Probably- I havent seen any alternates, the mosfet sinks that came for my Thermalright HR-03 R600 are great, its just a simple 2 push pins and its installed, no hassle.

So the mosfet-sink installed w/ push pins right into your 8800GT?

I dont have a 8800GT, I was refering to the HR-03 that is used on my 2900XT which has a mosfet pushpin sink. I can't imagine the Thermalright 8800GT version of the Mosfet heatsink is too much different- if they're not push pins then they will be simply stick on with thermal adhesive tape.

I don't think the 8800GT has push pin mounting for its mosfets.

Then the sinks will have thermal adhesive tape that you just stick on, serves the same purpose

Probably not the solution you want, but I just used the long extra heat sink from my Accelero S1 that my 8800GT didn't need. Cut it up into usable pieces and threw it onto the mosfets.
