HELP!! What is the best product for cooling a RAM?

Postby hang19840324 » Fri Aug 19, 2011 7:21 pm

Hey guys, I’ve got a problem with using my RAM … I used the thermal tape to attach my heatsink on it yet it’s still very hot. Sigh … seems like my cooler doesn’t cool down the RAM properly. My card was almost ruined when I tried to remove the heatsink. Please help !!! Is there something like a thermal pad that can resolve this problem?

Thanks for your advice! Now i am using the AMD HD 6970 with a non-stock cooler. I know the fan can solve my problem, but i am still looking for a product that can attach my heatsink on the the VGA RAM but not very sticky, because someone said when they are removing the heatsink, the RAM will peel off together, sound easy to damage my VGA board.

ARTIC G-1 is a thermal glue that has higher heat dissipation rates than thermal pad and easier removal than thermal tape. Check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZaef91JiIw&feature=youtube_gdata
Hope that helps.
