Ramsinks on 9500pro???

Nuke209 · Feb 21, 2003, 01:37 AM

i mean, how do you install them onto the card itself...the power connector is like blocking one of the ram...so how is it possible???

anyone got any photos?

How is the power connector going to be in the way of the ram modules?

my 9500pro is different.....mine doesn't look like that, here, check it out....

alrighty... if you were careful you could clip the plastic tabs that keep the power connector flat... and bend the connector so that it stood straight out from the PCB... otherwise you might have to forget the whole idea of puttong ram sinks on that card....

has anyone put any ram sinks on the 9500pro successfully, and if so...any pics?

You might be able to get a hacksaw and cut a ram sink in half to make it fit, it still would be better than nothing.

Would it be a bad thing to put ramsinks on three of the four chips? If so, is there a way to get put something thin and flat across all four, sort of like a DDR heat spreader?
