My 8800gts 512 cooler is in dire need of a reseating coz the thermal material is just crumbling away.

I have some artic silver for the gpu, but what would i need for the ram?

im thinking some of this stuff will do?? but its in the watercooling section, would it e a problem?

This stuff, have used it myself. Make sure you clean off all the old adhesive with some IPA (Iso-Propyl-Alcohol).

the tape wasnt thick enough, but i used the thermal pads i listed above.

Thermal pads that were already on the card were in aweful condition, some just broke up, and some of the ram chips were not fully covered, and other chips (voltage regulators?) were in some places not covered at all.

Changed the TIM on the GPU as well. Temps no longer in low 80's, but high 70's and it cools a lot quicker after turning off, so i dont burn my hand!
