Ok, I'm reckon to mod my Gainward ti4600 GS. I'm set on using a Alpha PAL153U (http://www.plycon.com/cpuc/an_pal15.htm) to cool the GPU, as it did wonders for my Geforce2Ultra. Anyone done this before? Anyone know if a 60mm x 60mm HSF will even fit on the gainward?

What I'm really in a bind about is the ram cooling. For my Gainward ti200 I used the Tweakmonster tin-plated copper ramsinks. The ti200, also using a CORB, overclocks like a beast as well. However, I'm torn between some Alpha Thin-Fin heatsinks that adorn my Geforce2Ultra or the Tweakmonster BGA ramsinks. The Alpha heatsinks, while not copper, have more surface area. The Tweakmonster sinks are much smaller, but feature A Whole Lot of Copper. I'm partial to the Tweakmonsters because they look pretty, and I won a computer the last time I bought Tweakmonster ramsinks :D I'm partial to the Alpha heatsinks because they are way big, I love Alpha products, and an "all Alpha cooled" computer would be very nifty :D

Anyways, anyone have and suggestions/ideas?

if you already have both the tweakmonster and the alpha components, try 'em both and which ever yields the best results would probably be the one to stick with...
