I was looking online at some different coolers and heatsinks and noticed vga card memory heatsinks. Would it be good to have heatsinks on a vid cards memory? Or will it make no difference. Just a thought! Will
It depends on your card, and whether you intend to overclock it or volt-mod it. But there are people who don't overclock but use them to make their cards look.. cooler.
After replacing my eVGAs 6800GTs heatsink with Zalmans VF700 CU heatsink and vid RAM coolers I saw a drop from 52-54 C to 46-48 C idle, and running DOOM3 X 1 hour from 60-68 C to 54-60 C. The fact that these NVIDIA GPUs run hot enough to fry eggs has always seemed rather exssive to me, so ANY drop in operating temp is appreciated. Zalmans {http://www.zalmanusa.com/} has great instalation instructions and shows quite clearly that RAM cooling has a positive effect on overall performance... Magicky
Thanks for the replies. I think I'm good for now but when I upgrade I'll definetly get ram heatsinks.
