Which ramsink? Simple question :)

http://www.extreme-computers.pt/loja...es.php?id=1155

or

Swiftech or Revoltec?

Swiftech's ramsinks are twice the price... Is that extra money worth it?

This is going to be applied on my soon-to-be-watercooled graphics card.

i think option 1 if you have low airflow, if you have a fan nearby the second ramsinks will probably cool better

id go for the cheaper ones. i don't thing there will be much difference. but then again i did buy ocz ramsinks for 9.00 and they all fell off. mabey swiftec has better thermal tape considering the price.

i dont see how the second option could win in ANY situation considering they have a smaller surface area.

also, if your chip sinks are falling off. you arent applying them properly. most people just peel the tape and set them on.

things need PRESSURE and to be cleaned PROPERLY.

and if your tight on cash, id go for number 2 since they are cheaper and newer mem doesnt put out enormous amounts of heat anyways.

but for best perfomance id say number one for sure.
