    VGA Cooler

    What's a good, cheap (under $30) heatsink for a Saphire ATI Radeon 9800 SE?

    Also, BGA/VGA Ramsinks. Are they worth it? Or just leave the chips baren? Or is there something better?

    This is the best out of the box easy to instal option available at the moment. You can use low profile BGA ramsinks with this as well.

    That looks pretty kool sink. With some BGA ramsinks it'll look sweet.

    It's /just/ out of my budget, tho. After shipping it's beyond $30.

    Way too expensive, and way too large.


    I really do need a low-profile heatsink under $30.

    Being big fast and expensive isn't always being best, y'know.

    I'm looking at something like a BlORB or CORB, or one of those Vantec deals. Need to know which of them is best.

    And again. Under $30.

    What happen to a good old 1u cooler. Can't he use one of those. They run pretty cheap and are real good.

    It will when I don't /have/ $35.

    I'll just get a Vantec, since noone else can find a heatsink under $30.

    Vantec: $14
    Ramsinks: $6
    AA Epoxy: $5

    Total: $25
