I was wondering if you put some of those small heatsinks (the ones that coolermaster do for DDR memory) onto your graphics card, would you be able to overclock your memory on your graphics card more?
 
Those memory things really don't do alot to start with, they are mainly for show, and unless you alread have them its not worth it to buy them.

Don't know...the RAM on my Radeon 9700 Pro gets pretty hot - the custom heatsinks I put on it get quite warm too. I used a bandsaw to slice up some old Pentium heatsinks, and attached them with Arctic Silver II and epoxy. But the prices that the places want online are nuts - $8 for 4 tiny heatsinks usually?? That's a ripoff. I got 50 small heatsinks on ebay already (sized right for individual RAM chips actually) for like $5. I don't think you need nickel covered copper or whatever those things are. The aluminum heatsinks I have seem to work just fine.
