Is it possible to use the stock cooler's base plate to cool the RAM and vrms with the Trad2? If it is possible is it better to do that or use the ram/vrm heatsinks which come with the cooler? I've heard they arn't that good for cooling the vrms.

Trad2 with a 4870 question

Hi.
Yes it is possible to use the baseplate from the original cooler. You are correct about the VRM cooling - the T-RAD is pretty poor at cooling them but the original plate does a good job while the T-RAD looks after the GPU.
There's a thread about it here.
