VGA RAM heatsinks

[newschool]

I am ordering an Accelero S1 for my toasty X1950XT and on every reviews I read the ram heatsinks included would not stick. So I added the blue Zalman heatsinks to my cart* (ZM-RHS1).

Anyone have better choices?

To your car? How many?

They should be fine, unless you want to go with purchasing copper ones and using thermal epoxy to permanently attach them to the vga ram.

The MC14 from Swiftech are copper, they seems really good. But they are very big, I checked some side pictures of the S1 and I think the MC14 are like 2 times heigher than the originals ones, it wont fit.

So I guess my only choice is the zalman, since they are pretty low. But anyways they worked good on my 6800GT when I bought a VF700 so I think it gonna be allright.

Get a Thermaltake TMG-AT2 instead. It cools the GPU and VRAM.

The Accelero S1 is the BEST GPU cooler atm. http://www.ocia.net/reviews/acceleros1
But the ram heatsinks included sucks. That why I was looking for other aftermarket gpu VRAM heatsinks.

I'd say the Thermalright HR-03 is probably the best out there right now. Not taking anything away from the S1 though, looks like a really good cooler, especially for the price.

Neither of those look stock and are a pain in the ass to install. I had a Thermalright V1 Ultra and was never pleased with it.

I picked the Thermaltake TMG-AT1 because of it's stock looking design and DHES. It cooled better than the V1 Ultra and was more quiet.

The S1 is better than the HR-03 by much. http://www.computerbase.de/for...howthread.php?t=318241

And the HR-03 is better than the TT TMG-AT1

Do the math.

Sorry, I don't read spanish.

To get those results, looks like it's using 2x120mm fans. I can understand that...the HR-03 doesn't have that option.

Thanks for bringing up this cooler, I'm seeing a lot of similar results. For the price I think I'll be checking it out for some smaller machines.

I have no doubt that it's better, it's freakin' huge. It just doesn't do the stock look very well. I went from stock to V1 Ultra back to stock and then the TMG-AT1. I just didn't have a need to go from there.

FYI, here are pictures of my X1900XT with the V1 Ultra (2 fans) and using a custom vreg heatsink.

I'm sorry, but I found this really hilarious. How xenophobic do you have to be to not recognize the basic languages, or web domains for that matter?

EDIT: oh, didn't realize it was jcm. I disregard everything that guy says anyway.

Dude, you are really screwed in the head. I don't even know you and you're always starting shit. Man up and stop acting like a 10 year old.

Usually indicated with a smiley, which wasn't used. Do you REALLY think you can tell sarcasm on a black and white internet? Sure...how long have you been posting on forums again?
