I don't know of any that work like that, but those look really small.

bestbyte.net had some nice ones cheap.

sweet thnx....they alot bigger than it seems. Its a bar that stretches between the 2 RAM chips (its about 2 in long)

Your ram doesnt even need ramsinks, I think it would be a waste to get bigger ones. Maybe get some better case airflow.

lol....

umm...airflow aint the problem( i have 12 case fans)... i need more metal on the heated surfaces. If you have any suggestions for RAM sinks im all ears.

Since ramsinks have been proven to really not help all that much you could at least get ones that look cool, like these:

These probably not what you want ,but might be wortha look.
I put ram sinks in Google...There are several places that showed up. THE FANMAN

..As always where would we be without the OC community. Thnx for the responses. I have seen the "RAM sinks" b4 but my comcern is that they dont have much in the way of surface area. (thats y i was lookin for the long ones like in the pic). + Those BGA sinks expensive

. @ this point im gonna contact ATI and see if i can scam me a "replacement"

XT cooler. Thnx for the advice

1) I might contact ATI and see if I can scam you a refusal of your entire warranty.
2) I was going to make a suggestion about how to get the sinks you want. I've changed my mind.

Why not make your own out of a Pentium 1 HS.Or something to that effect.All you need to do is some measuring and see if the P-1 HS will span the ram.Cut and apply. THE FANMAN

No no no....Im sorry I wasnt clear...when i meant scam I meant buy a replacement XT cooler for my 9800np. Im sure that ATI and Asus sell replacement parts OEM. I wasnt planing on stealing anyting or claiming I have an XT. Sorry 4 the confusion didn't mean to stir up trouble

At this point im gonna see if I can buy the stock XT cooler from ATi, that way ill take care of the core and mem @ the same time. I cant imagine that the "stock" cooler w/t shipping couldnt cost more than $50

I need to get somethin for chip core as well as my RAM...might as well. On another note...those 9800s are some toasty little buggers. I was suprised by the heat those suckers put out.
