Nice ramsinks.... shame that the price is about twice what Id consider paying.

Better cooking? Don't the 4870's cook enough with the stock heatsink?

39 $ for ramsinks??????? Jesus, that is very very much for something that will give you no benefit at all. Great product!

The RAM on the HD4870's gets toasty and these sinks are meant for VRM's too which really do get super hot once you contemplate overclocking so they are not useless in the slightest.

No way they are worth $39... maybe $15 or 20 imo.

Ops I mean cooling not cooking although with the 4 series of cards cooling and cooking are in the same boat...

I like that they are single pieces made specifically for the 4800 cards, but I'd still prefer single copper sinks with post instead of aluminum ones with grooves, and they are expensive.
