I put 8 heatsinks on my CLA2 with thermal tape, and I'm convinced it didn't do sh!t for o/cing. Should I try thermal epoxy? Or is 355-360MHz all I can get from those bad boys? Any thoughts?
 
I put on 8 heatsinks with Arctic Silver on my Voodoo 3. Doesn't do anything. I didn't expect it to, but I figured I could spend the $2 to find out.
 
ram heatsinks don't do anything for voodoo3's. i have my voodoo3 2000 143@175, and the whole card is just warm to the touch, i just reached the maximum capability of the chip
 
I thought I would give it a try b/c I kept reading about CLA2s getting like over 380MHz. I guess thats my sh!tty luck! :disgust:
 
From everything I've heard RAM heatsinks don't do a thing. Mostly beacause heat is not the limiting factor in overclocking the RAM. In point of fact RAM does not tend to get very hot even without heatsinks.
