ok. so the cooling of the ramsinks needed to take place. And I had a spare socket 5 heatsink lying around.

I found el hack saw and the suction vise and had my way with it.

After cutting and a bit of tidying up I ended up with 8 lovely new sinks and a deformed mass.

End result:

Project took under an hour. Next step: The 1U heatsink to be mounted on gpu.

There's a set of AS epoxy on its way to me, (See Holy Ceramique Tube Thread ) Which will be used whenever it gets here.

Wow it took a while to update. After a long wait the epoxy came in and I put on the sinks. I gained about 5mhz on the ram (10ddr) and I feel better about the card (those sinks get plenty hot)

edit: pics will be up when i find my camera (sorry)
