Just put copper ram heatsinks on the memeory. There is no WC HS for 'just' the ram. It would have to be a full cover block that would WC the GPU, ram, and mosfets.

oki thanks
it was pretty much what i figured too but i wasn't sure
then it will be the mcw60 and ramsinks on it
just need to order some more of them before i put on the wc

Don't forget the mosfets too.

thanks for reminding me
i actually didn't think of them
guess i'll be covering up most of what can be covered with ramsinks hehe ;-))

this is the card i just put in there even if i have to wait til i get some more ramsinks with putting on the water

Here is the URL for heatsink placement. It's a Thermalright install, but it shows where the HS need to be. Scroll down to your card.

thanks alot
it sure will help alot when the hs arrives here
i just ordered them along with some themal glue and some as5 to mix in with it so i can get them off later on
just in case i decide down the road to change anything

good thing nobody was around last night
i managed to kill my videocard and thereby had to get a new one :-((but pretty soon now the new one is installed
an asus eah4850
hopefully that goes better
reason for killing it : my own stupidity i put on ramsinks on wrong spot and twisted off a pin when i was to remove them again

Awww man, that really sucks! :bang head

Sorry to hear your bad luck.

jr1 · Aug 23, 2008

can't anything but laugh at my own stright out dumbness
hopefully i can solder that pin back on again
if i can i can always use it in the computer to my "better" half
and if not well tough luck for me and my wallet

by the way the new card is working like a charm

Conumdrum · Aug 23, 2008

It's all ggod! You got a better GPU no matter a silly pin got broke. I'm sure it was the'better hals' fault, she interupped your work, LOL!!!

Hope ya can fix it. And of course the new card is better..... (GRINx2)

well unfortenutly i can't blame her since she had our 10 months old daughter at her parents so i was all by myselve
if you look at the link you gave me and look at step 4
you see the four squere thingys just beside where the b is supposed to attatch the ramsinks
i don't know what they are but on one of them a pin is broken and as stated earlyer it's my own fault not paying enough attention and putting sinks on them instead of where the b is outlined
anyone know what they are for by the way ?

zalman has a v ram cooler, but I don't know if it fits, nor if it's any good...
