Question how do I get more cooling for vga mem

I have a sapphire 9600xt, with an Arctic vga silencer rev. 3, and copper vga sinks. Core clock is stable at 585. but I can only get my mem to 325. I have a bunch of case fans, including one that is set to blow on the sinks. Is there something else I can do. I thought abaout trying to fabricate heatsinks that can accomodate a gpu fan, but that is a lot of work and I'm not sure if it would be effectice. any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

The 9600s aren't known for having good ocing ram. I don't think you are gonna be able to get much more out of it.

This is my second 9600, I fried the first one. I was able to clock the mem to 328 on that one, but I think the arctic cooler restricts air flow around the memory. I'm determined to break 530 stable. I know it doesn't sound like much, but there is a signifigant difference in frame rates between 325 and 328, atleast to me. The other thing is that i found this article, and I was wondering if it is possible with my card. http://www.unoid.net/9600pro/power.html
