The picture only shows 6, but the title says 8. Just an example pic

 

[Slayerstaps]

But i see there are only six in the pack...i think it's not a false example pic it's more of a misplaced title...

 

[pablofrogo]

No, I had those RAMsinks on my card before I got the new Silencer.. You get 8 in a pack, and they all come with thermal tape pre-attatched.

just installed Tweakmonster BGA Ramsinks, dunno bout ur cooler, but i just installed an ATI REV 4 VGA Silencer and i had to cut part of it off so it would fit over a certain ramsink that was causing the cooler not to seat properly, anyhoo all fitted now and running schweeeeeeeeeeeeet

 

[Ramine]

hey me ram isnt BGA i dont thing, well its not square, can any one advise me on what ones to get, i think its TSOP or somthing like that

BTW its a Sapphire 9600 XT

Ramine

 

[wazzledoozle]

Yeah its prob TSOP. Generally you have to make your ramsinks if you have tsop.

 

[Slayerstaps]

or if u wanna waste money you can put more then one BGA ramsink on there....

if you are a bit into diy get yourself a bigass pentium pro heatsink, lap the base (those heatsinks have lots of manufacturing ridges), cut it up, then lap the base again from any marks you added while cutting

 

[Slayerstaps]

Hehe, i cut ramsinks out of a broken vga silencer rev.1
That sink makes really nice ramsinks...

 

[Ramine]

yea i have pentium pro heatsink, my god, it's as big as me Grafix's card dont you just luv them, what compount you recommend? that Arctic silver stuff?

thermal conductivity does not matter much with ramsinks - put whatever you got in the middle and leave the four corners blank .. but some glue/hotglue/epoxy/spit there and you have a solution which you can easily remove

Why not put it in the corners? I use adhesive tape but will probably get adhesive paste soon.

I used the zalman epoxy compound...It really smells bad but it works great
