I bought some copper ramsinks from coolermaster, they do a good job of cooling my 9600 XT memory and they do a great job of disapating the heat, i was able to clock the memory a good bit higher without artifacts forming in 3d images..
I bought copper heat spreaders for my ram but it came with a big lump of this 'thermal' putty crap, it would have hindered the heat disapation for sure, i tried scraping it off with the intention of using some Acrtic Silver adheasive to keep them on, but before i started mixing the damn spreaders wouldn't sit on the sticks right so the whole thing was a waste of time and money.

So what i might do later is get some more ram sinks and epoxy them on, since the ram is sitting in dual-channels they shouldn't get in the way of each other with those metal lumps attached.
