Do we really need VRAM sinks @ 1000Mhz ?

[Demo]

One of the little VRAM sink on my HR03-Plus fell off, Do these ram really help at all when im operating my mem at 1,000Mhz ( 8800gts 320mb ) as currently i have no methods of reapplying them

if you've got no airflow, yes.

[Demo]

1 120mm intake fan at 7v , 2x 80mm exhaust and 1x 120mm from PSU and a 45mm fan at the bottom inline with the HR03 to exhaust hot air.

Anyone else with a different input ?

I dont know if this applies to you, but Ive stuck down small heatsinks to mosfets by using thermal paste mixed with super glue. If you have the two around try a little bit of glue maybe

i wouldnt recommend this tbh, superglue is probably not a good conductor, if you want it to hold just get some epoxy

I agree with chatmaster.
I use mx2 and then apply a tiny tiny dot of superglue and it holds really well.
If I need to take the sinks off, I simply apply a little pressure when twisting and they pop off.

Yeah, much easier to take off than arctic epoxy. As far as super glue being an insulator.. it is, but as long as you use it sparingly on the corners the effects are negligible... RAM chip don't put out a lot of heat anyway.
