Just got a Swifttech MCW60 Waterblock for my X1900XT and OcUK neglected to mention it doesnt come with Ramsinks (when the Swiftech site does)

Are they neccessary or will i have problems running the card without Ramsinks? Am i right in thinking that the memory is BGA and therefore something like the Vantec Iceberq Copper BGA Ramsinks would do the job?

Do i need them?
 
I have AS5 and the AS Adhesive, but my question is do i need Ramsinks at all? I know someone already said no, and it isnt that i dont trust you i just dont want to destroy my card. Can someone else confirm i dont need them?

Place a thermal probe onto the RAM chips and see how hot they get.

Dont have one so would have to buy one, and im guessing itll cost more than Ramsinks, so i may as well just buy them.

Is the card likely to die, or will i get BSOD's or artifacting before it gets to that stage?
