Where's a Good Place for Ram Sinks

[Guest]

Just a quick question. Does anyone know a good site to buy ram sinks from? Just wanted to compare a few of them. Thanks

At bus stations, busses stop. At train stations, trains stop. My desk has a work station. GO FIGURE!

I don't know if they deliver abroad though.

hehe where'd you end up buying from?

I made my own. Get a solid bar aluminum, and then you're set. I used a Sawzall to chop it into 1" x 3/4" x 3/4" blocks, then set it on my drill press with an 1/8" titanium bit and went to town on those mugs. Pretty cool. Get hot as f*ck though. I haven't used them yet, as I don't have any tape or glue to do it... I'll probably have to order them. Oh well. I saved some money that way. I mean, to buy 8 heatsinks would be like $20 after shipping. The stock bar of aluminum I got was $15, but that is enough to make like 25 of them. It's also pretty cool holding a bar of solid aluminum like that. hehe.

Well 2cooltek had a nice kit that works well with my Radeon - One of my darn chips is too close to my DIMM banks so haven't quite figured out what to do with it yet but hope to get her up to 215. Already running at 210 with no additional cooling.

You used a Sawzall? That's a new one for me....I only use it for wood. I'm not sure how precise you could be with it, unless you clamped it down. It's amazing the things you can do with some fairly simple tools at your disposal....

Yeah, I clamped the bastard down to my workbench and just did it with a bi-cut saw blade. It wasn't one of the really fine tooth metal blades, but the ones meant for cutting soft metals or wood. It was just faster that way, plus my metal only blade was dull cuz I had just cut some solid steel up. I was gonna use my miter saw with a 60 tooth carbide blade. I use it to cut aluminum all day long, but only thin stuff. My wussy ass was too scared to use it, as a big chunk of aluminum possible being flung through the air at a couple hundred miles an hour would really suck. So, ya, a sawzall cuts it pretty well, but it does make the sides pretty rough. If I wanted to I could hit it up with a sander, but I really don't need to. Sawzall rocks though.
