i need heat sinks on my radeon 9500pro's memory. the core clocks from 276 to 384 but the memory only goes from
270 to 297. i figure it s cause the memory chips get too hot. at higher clock speeds the screen goes mong with black squares like a checker board and all fuzzy. is this likely to be a heat problem. even if its not, where do you find heatsinks suitable for video ram. please help, its been nearly a week without any new tweaks, and well basically cause overclocking the memory makes much more difference to the framerates than overclocking the core. the core makes up for it though with its ability to overclock more. hopefully with heatsinks all that will change. i will post back with more progress. :arrow:

Heres a site i have gotten a few items from they do have Ram sinks, they are kinda easy to install, but they are small.

i got some stuff, including some ram sinks. they are meant for normal ram but i will put two on each video ram module making nearly a square. they have thermal tape on them. got them from a cool shop in the outer suburbs of brisbane called coolpc. or www.coolpc.com.au
