Get videocard ram heatsinks too because the 8800GT ram modules get extremely hot.

The Zalman vf1000 is the better of the 2 coolers, but there is also the Thermaltake Duorb too. The Zalman comes with RAM heatsinks, I dont know if the Duorb does, but I think it does. I am grabbing a couple of them for my next GPUs.

I dont have to switch on my HD 3870s in crossfire. They come with a heatsink on them already made of copper :D. I prefer copper on my GPUs RAM. I had lapped copper heatsinks on my x1800xt 512mb @ 740/1850. But in all honesty, I dont think youre going to notice a huge difference between ZAlman and Thermaltake Aluminum heatsinks for the RAM.
