Where to get tin plated ramsinks for cheap?

Im looking for some ramsinks, but where can I get them for cheap?

Have you tried Radio Shack? They usually have some sort of suitable heatsinks, I think.

Take a look at this. (http://www.mouser.com/catalog/cat_608/446.pdf) If you find one thta floats your boat, go here (http://www.mouser.com) and do a part # search. Personally, I found that #532-501200b00 worked real well on my video RAM, and the price ranges from 1 for$.58 to 100 for $.43

Are the tincoated copper sinks better than solid copper sinks?

If your going for looks the Tin Plated ramsinks are decent, BUT Theoreticly the All copper version is the better choice, as Tin has terrible Thermal Conductivity properties.

Thermal Properties of Materials
Thermal Conductivity, W/cm-K

Tin .630

Copper 3.937

WA2,

I can't deny that fact that your Card is Sweet looking, I saw it over on Rage3d.


Now all you have to do is get that SK6 silver plated to complete the color coordination :)

Thnx bro.....cant think of much more to do with my rig....maybe some mod to control lights and fans...that would be cool....but with the face of my case being round i dont know what to do...

Those tin ramsinks look nice, but what about anodized copper ramsinks? I'd love to have some ramsinks that matched the PCB (I also wouldn't mind needing ramsinks).
