Hi, I watercooled my 2900 a while back, and I did ramsinks first, then realized I had made a screaming error, and then sold off the block I had gotten and just used a full coverage block. The Ramsinks on the bottom of the card have a tendency to fall off, or get dislodged with little or no encouragement. I made a thread about the whole adventure, you can see it here:
http://www.overclock.net/water-cooli...-hd2900xt.html
my rant is on page 7, where I discuss in further detail how much difficulty I ran into with ramsinks.

There is information on how many/what you need if you really want to do it, but I urge you to reconsider, and go with a half decent full coverage block.
