Ram sinks for GF4 ti4600 with water cooler?

[Boardmonger]

Hi,
I am not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I was hoping to get some questions answered about adding ram sinks to my 4600 (Pic of Ram sinks). I am planning on water cooling my card (koolance), the current memory on the card doesn't have any kind of ram sink on them (pic of card). I am not sure if I remove most of the active cooling from my case/card if the ram will still be cooled properly.


A second question has to do with over clocking the card. I am thinking about over clocking the card. If the ram doesn't need the heat sinks do you think I would need them to over clock the memory or do you think it would provide any help?

And lastly if I do need them is there a brand or store to buy them from that is better than others?

Thanks for any help!

The lack of air flow in your case wont (shouldnt) cause your card to not function under standard clock speeds. As far as over clocking, the ram sinks might add 5-10mhz to the maximum. I would suggest getting them though, especially if you wont have any airflow in your case.

Thanks, I am now trying to find if I will void my warrantee if I add ram sinks.

Yes, putting ram sinks on will void your warrenty, so will putting on a water block. Adding the sinks should be a very low risk mod though.
