I plan to buy some stuff to oc my vid card and i wanted to know how they performed and if they worth the price?
I still have some ramsinks from TT (shipped with the blue orb), would the tweakmonsters outperform them?
Can i easily take them off to use them on another card?

I like the denisty of the teakmonsters rather than the thin aluminum. iirc the tweakmonsters are silver or nickle plated.

I think it's nickel plated, the finish is nice but is it worth it that my whole question

There only cheap. Just buy them. They cant hurt. Then you can see yourself.

There are some reviews on the net about them. All good.

I don't find them that cheap, but i'm already buying quite a few cooling gear so a few more won't hurt i guess
Does Artic alumina epoxi easy to remove? If i plan to buy a radeon in the future i'd like to be able to reuse the ramsink

I also prefer the Tweakmonster BGA heatsinks over all others. As FUGGER said, they are very heavy and well finished.

I always apply them using a 3 part/ 1 part mix of AS epoxy and AS III. By diluting the epoxy, the heatsinks are easily removable and the residual material can be scratched right off with a thumbnail. It takes a little longer to dry and cure, but it works great every time.
