You can pick up heatsinks for RAM from alot of cooling stores, but what i would recomend is going to www.allelectronics.com and getting one of there heatsinks. The have a great selection of cheap heatsinks. Cut it down to size (assuming you have access to sometthing to cut with, otherwise get some ramsinks from a place like www.2cooltek.com ), and attack with arctic alumina epoxy diluted with standard arctic alumina to reduce the bond so that you can remove them if you want to.

it came with ramsinks preinstalled but they are all connected to eachother, i dont know if that would make any difference. Is there any kind of fan i can buy to go on them?
