, don't worry about him anyway, im not sure on the sizing, but you can measure the size of the ram your putting it on, and then look at the size of the tweakmonsters, on the site FIZZ3 provided, and then youll know if it fits. some superglue, epoxy will work great on holding it on.

That is a much better price, thx
fafnir said:well comeon, i mean its not like that i'm telling him pointless or wrong information, i really believe that he'll get a much healthier performace boost if he got newer componets.... cause we're all about speed right?
i mean, seriously, even with the best ram cooling possible, even its four seperate coldplates with four seperate 80w peltiers cooling them, you're unlikely to be able to overclock the thing even ONE more mhz....
with more voltage, maybe, maybe maybe....
but seriously, if you really believe that its the heat from the ram thats holding you back, by all means the cheapest way to get the best possible ramsinks for the least money is to either saw apart an old heatsink and just as silver epoxy em' on, or go out and buy a piece of copper, a plate or a sheet, cut it into the size of a ramstick, drill lots of holes, and them bolt that on ur ram....
here's a review of the thermaltake ram sink kit... (the blue one)

and if you keep reading it down a drop of 0.3C on idle and 0.9C on load is really really bad, and its at less than 40 celcius to begin with, so it definitely does NOT need more cooling....
we are past the days where we knew nothing about computers and heat and everthing that was silicon produced heat and the best possible way to do it was to slash and cut then paste a bunch of heatsinks on every flat surface there it and blow a house fan at it and watch ur computer run like twice as fast with edo ram....
no, i think we're past that,... economics is more important, where we need the thing to be CHEAP, and fast, and ENDING UP CHEAPER...
so of course i'm gonna recommend a new mobo and some newer ddr ram that STARTS OFF TWICE AS FAST....
so really, insist on that you REALLY REAALLY need better ram cooling and i'll post pics of the metal stock i'm talking about where you can get the best ram cooling for about 5 full american dollars,...
and don't tell me that you hate me cause i told you to go buy a new computer... cause i'm only trying to help....

but it would be cool "looking"
that's reason enough for me....
Yep, I also want to overclock my system a little anyway, and it won't OC well at all. I am guessing it is because of heat. So I am getting an Aero 7+ and I thought I would get some Ramsinks too. I also need a HDD cooler, but I will take care of that with 15 dollars of store credit at a local PC shop
