Anyone got any recommendations on where to buy DDR RAM sinks for my new Radeon? I'll have to buy some Arctic Silver too, but I assume everyone has the same basic price on that.

Though I've never personally used them, the Radio Shack sinks are supposed to be good for the price. I use their compound, so it seems fine. It's also available everywhere for under $5.00, whereas AS is only found online (for me) and $10 a tube.

I would personally consider buying thermotake memory heatsink kits as these contain additional heatsinks for other chipsets and fit remarkably well on Graphic card memory

I think radio shack has some decent sized ones. the bigger the better and it seems like those ram sinks mentioned are rather small. Get a good fan blowing on them, however, or the benefits will be minimal.
