Not really an issue since the weight of the heatsink is spread out. Unlike CPU heatsink where it is concerntrate directly in one area.

Well, unless you plan to move around with it a lot, then I would say it may become an issue if you don't bubble wrap your parts in the PC.

anyone have ramsink issue when fixing this cooler on sapphire 4850? planning to get one but scare cannot put on the ramsink.

I am not sure how hot does 4850 rams get.

I too have issues of similar to yours.

I am running a few memory ram chips without heatsinks (I am using the Zotac 8800GT) 24 / 7.

I don't think it would be too much of a problem as long the casing airflow is decent to begin with.

im using battle axe for my 4850...
the things is...the temp only decrease about 5'c only?idle at 65'c..
i saw a lot of people got a better result.any1 can guide me?

I think its thermal compound that u use affect it differently...
What thermal compound u using?

the one that included with the package?is the ramsink need thermal compound too?or just the gpu core?

I think you didnt fix the cooler properly. bad contact between the cooler and the GPU.

double check?

even my card idles at 55degress(er i'm using Gigabyte 8800GT Zalman edition)..i'm planning to get battle axe tho

fit and me using on it.... cool....ide 35c.. max38c.... 12jam on
