Cooling 9600GT

I have a Gigabyte Mercury Water Cooled case that I'm about to transplant my current system into, and I just bought a pair of 9600GTs. The case has a splitter with 2 available plugs so I'd like to use them to cool the cards with a GPU cooler like THIS.. My question is do you guys think this will do the job for the cards and do I need something too cool the VRAM with.

TIA
 
You can either use some memory radiators, or you can just leave the ram chips naked. But make sure, no matter the option, to have some flow of air over the card.
 
Anyone happen to have a link to some heatsinks for the memory? Been looking everywhere but can't find anything, probably because I'm not looking for the right thing.
 
Any standard BGA sink should work just fine. EVERYONE has them. Look under video card cooling or memory cooling, they'll be there.
 
i dont know if his poor radiator can handle that much heat.
 
The rad you have won't cut it. If your existing rad is copper, check the measurements on your 2 rear fans and compare the spacing to this. If it is alum, Gigabytes kit has an alum rad, try this.
Better would be to add an entire second loop or keep the 9600's on air.
