Ramsinks hold ok although not the best. The VRM sinks are TERRIBLE. They fell off 3 times before I gave up and slapped some of the sticky tape from the old cooler and stuck the VRM sinks on.... One of the ramsinks gets close to the pipes and so I knocked it aside. I gave up and also slapped some sticky thermal crap from the old cooler on.

BTW, I have a Visiontek 4850. I did clean everything with IPA (although 91%). I know the ramsinks/vrm sinks suck to begin with in stickiness. What has everyone done?

ou must clean it thoroughly w/ 100% rubbing alcohol, heat the ram if u can (use a blow dryer), and hold the ramsinks in place for a good minute for them to stick. I didnt heat the ram w/ a blowdryer, just thoroughly cleaned them over and over and held the ramsinks on for a minute. Mind u, i'm using an 8800gt, but most ppl reported the same thing.
