I'm not sure if you need it since there are 8800GTs that sell with out them and the mofset exposed. BUMP.

I would say it's necessary. I'm assuming since of course the reference PCB has cooling on there.
Mine isn't a reference PCB and it even had heatsinks on them. The only ones I haven't seen some sort of cooling are the ones from XFX with their own PCB.

You could probably get them IandH RAMsinks from the for sale section. I saw three of them not too long ago.
