watercooler my Leadtek 7800gtx but obviously the ram has no sink, is it worth getting ram sinks, the ram does get very hot under stress.
Cheers
 
I'd say so, if you go to the trouble of water cooling your GPU then the RAM should be important too, they are only as effective as your case cooling though, need good airflow.

Then again if your not having any probs with your graphics then no reason to i guess, unless you want to OC your card then i would definately say it was worth the extra cooling help
 
ram sinks will cost you around 4 quid for a set of 8 thermaltake copper sinks. worth it for the price and even if you don;t clock your ram higher, atleast you can be safe knowing that your ram won;t be getting hot at all. worth it to protect your investment.
 
it will clock to 520/1.37 with no artifact in COD2 or Q4 but i get the odd one in FEAR droped my clocks to 500/1.34 during this very hot period, core temp hasnt hit 50c during gaming, may volt mod to get some more. Case cooling is excellent as temps dont drop even if i take the sides off.
