Just wondering whether anybody has used them before? I am contemplating whether to peel off the stock thermal adhesive and stick it permanently to the motherboard mosfets and hotspots with AS Thermal Adhesive or not. I am also curious how well the stock thermal adhesive works. Here are some pics:

Yeah come to think of it. It was an impulse buy myself. I also felt it was damn expensive for ramsinks. Oh well.........was hoping someone used it in the forum and have some input.

If possible please make a bulk on the OCZ BGA ramsink. There are better than Vantec and a lot cheaper than the Swiftech. I am sure lots of ppl will get it if the price is reasonable. I myself will at least get 2 packs.

Just initial estimate for the OCZ BGA Ramsink, will probably be around USD20+ dollars - about RM80+.

Not sure, but the design ofthe Swiftech is better. More solid. And if you look at it, wind can come from any direction and cool it. Whereas with the OCZ you have to blow parallel to the fins to get max cooling coz if you blow the other way, the first fin will block airflow to the other fins - limiting its cooling ability.

erm....

thats true....

heat is dissipated faster using the Swiftech BGA ramsink.

Better design....

are there any other ramsink out there...

currently i am using the VANTEC's BGA Ramsink....

to me its performing better with a ramsink than without one....
