Default What ram sinks should I use for my 4770?

Should I use the ZeroTherm or Scythe?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...0Card%20Memory


I need them badly since when I OCed my card to 1000 on the RAM I am hitting between 90 and 100C on my memory! I am getting a new cooler for my chip so there will be room on it. What do you think?

You need air passing across the sinks for them to be useful. Either ones will work.

the scythe set looks like it has a lot more heatsinks, theres only 3 ram heatsinks in the zerotherm set, don't you need 8?

heh looks like we both have the same idea, I'm ordering the scythe ones and a new cooler on thursday after I get paid. I'm thinking of going with an AccelS1 but the one person I saw who fit it on the 4770 had to bend all the fins on one side, so i'm looking to see if one of the smaller coolers might be a better fit.

gDDR5 really does not need cooling....although ramsinks do look cool so I would still probably put them on My point is that they aren't necessary though.
