VF1000 + 4850

[thisperishedmin]

Hey guys... I ordered a VF1000 for my 4850, but since had an afterthought on the matter - simply put - will I want to run ram heatsinks in addition to the VF, and will heatsinks for the memory even fit around the cooler?

I resolved the heat problem I was having a bit....mostly jumped on the VF because its much quieter - but as an afterthought I realized the current cooler also covers the ram, while the VF wont...

any thoughts from experienced folks appreciated!

thanks!

i would get some ramsinks, just because the 4850's are very toasty cards.

A lot of the stock coolers on the 4850 only have heatsinks on the GPU.
Just go to NewEgg and do a search, and you'll see.

You can get some ramsinks, but I don't think it's required.

Ramsinks are cheap enough that you should pick some up, but they aren't necessary.

The VF1000 has ram sinks included in their package, look closely in the pastic bag on Newegg's site. I plan on buying this same exact cooler for my HIS 4850 next week.
