Well guy I am going to put a Mach II modded with r404a on my gpu for my 9800XT.

What is the best thing to do with the memory to get the most out of it? Should I leave the ramsinks I put on there?

I read I think by RunMC that ramsink cause condensation in phase changing. I want the best overclock for my memory what should I do with it? RamSink or Noting or what do I put on there?

Yeah but you have a Vapochill modded with 404.
I will use a Mach II modded with 404. My cooling will be alot colder than your is. I also heard around the AGP gets frost with the cooling I am doing so I will have a heater around the AGP slot to prevent frost. :)

you guys thing the heater will work? I know SadCat put a heater around his AGP slot and had no worries. But then again he had a Mach I modded with r404a I will have a Mach II. :confused:

Thanks for the info though.

Erm UsMarine, the physical cooling difference between a Mach I and Mach II is very small. Especially when 404A modded as the setup would be optimised with the new gas so performance will be pretty much equal.

I imagine you will get a lot of frost if you intend to use this as a 24/7 cooling solution. But an under board mouted heater would probably fix the AGP slot problem, as you say.

Well this WILL be a 24/7 computer. I hope I dont have to fight condensation. I will do a pretty good patching it up though hopefully.
