Which is better between the 2? They're both copper based, but the tweakmonster ones have a tin type finish to them....

This is for a Radeon 9800 Pro with VGA Silencer rev 3...

OCZ = more fins, more surface area, faster heat disappation.

Tweakmonsters look nice... but the fins are too thick and too few, IMO.

That's true.....

So you think because there are more fins, they would dissisipate heat more quickly then less fins but thicker ones...? Does height have a factor in that?

Yes it will, get them! I would go with the aluminum ones if you dont have active cooling around the videocard though. Im using staples right now, its good enough for me hehe. Got 12 mhz gain on my mem! w00t!
