    ATI HD4850 PWM/MOSFET heatsink with 3rd party cooling?

    At the moment I'm using VGA memory heatsinks on MOSFTEs with Akasa vortexx neo. But I'm not quite convienced with the though these may just fell off and shortcut something
    Does anyone is aware of a decent heatsink that can be screwed onto mosfets? Something similar to Zalman's HSI heatsink:

    You may as well get a decent cooler instead that allows air to be blown onto the card... unless you are watercooling it...

    that's exactly what I'm using - Akasa does provide airflow over PWM area. Though w/o heatsinks on mosfets system may just shut down while playing a game
    perhaps it's possible to get the stock heatsinks for 4850 separatly and just cut the PWM area off them? Anyone knows if these are available in retail?

    Hi Cooper - Agreed but if you were going to use the VGA memory heatsink AK-VMC01
    http://www.akasa.co.uk/akasa_english..._ak_vmc_01.htm.

    You should also be using ak-TT1280 Thermal tape it has a strong bond even at 70.C
    http://www.akasa.co.uk/akasa_english...ak_tt12_80.htm.

    We are seeing very good performance in the order of 20.C down in full turbo
