Hi all, I have a set of iandh ramsinks for my 9800GT (8800GT) but problem is I have the non-reference design XFX card. Am willing to modify my iandh sinks to make them fit and use thermal tape as there is no mounting holes like on reference design. The ram chips are no problem, just a little trim, but I can't see from iandh's pics where the second sink should go on my card......

Can anyone give me a heads up?

Here is a pic of my card and the two spots I can't work out between.....

Thanks, wow, tight fit, much more tight than on ref design. Looks like I'll be cutting the :banana::banana::banana::banana: out of that sink

I agree with Momi. That's where I put them on my card and it hasn't caught fire yet.

The blue circle is the MOSFETs the red circle is the Inductor, both will get hot but the MOSFETs will be the hotter of the two and should be aided in their heat dissipation.
