Ramsinks can't hurt, though I've heard conflicting results (some say it helps, some say it's useless).

I can't imagine anything that helps to cool a component is useless.

Good score BTW.

May i suggest Radio Shacks ramsinks,

I actually use them and I also evaluated these:

Now I ordered these copper ramsinks from a popular vendor and I was less than enthused as they are actually very small (smaller than the ram chip) And the three fin ramsinks I recieved had to be lapped as the base was concaved badly on two of the four I recieved.

If you want ramsinks the Radio Shack Ramsinks are a very cost effective way to go and out of the 10 I purchased they were all perfectly flat.

well...putting my new hs on the core actually hurt me before i was able to get to 235...maybe i didnt lap it right....eventually ill try it with an old p1hs i have......also i have another p1hs ill hack for this....i cant pay for ramsink..:(
