Ok, first off, i looked, but with over 500 pages, i might have missed it. I have an older xfx 5850, this for reference. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150494 i also got one of the Arctic Accelero Xtreme PLUS II gpu coolers. it has a ton of extra heat sinks for the ram and what not. the instructions were, lets say "not so good" they showed an nvidia card. i know where the memory is to put them on, but what else should i put the heat sinks on? also, i used the stuff that came with it for installing the heat sinks, so i bought some of the arctic silver and arctic alumina thermal adhesives, both the silver and alumina are the 2 part variety (the kind that has to be mixed), which one would be better for doing this? i also attached a photo of the bare gpu card. I don't overclock too much as this is the card that mines bitcoins. and runs REAL hot running at 100% and runs for weeks on end with a small overclock using msi afterburner.
