Do you need memory Heat SInks when overclocking?

No. Some people do various things to cool their memory, but many others don't find it necessary. Cooling your Ram has been reported to give some better performance. Mine have never really gotten that warm, so I don't worry about it.

One thing that many people DO add sinks to is the memory on an overclocked video card...

Yah, I saw a few pics of GeForce 3's with those heatsinks on em'.

I guess I will have to see if my RAM gets hot or not.....

My FSB won't go over 140atm, might be RAM as it is cheap unbranded stuff. Only 512 out of 640 is currently being recognised as 128 of it won't run as CAS2 :(.

I'll be getting RAMsinks tommorow, and I'll let you know :)
