Cons: -all low profile, no large ones
Pros: -cheap-includes 2 extra thermal pads Comment:
These are handy to cool various things on a motherboard. Currently using them to cool different IC's on an Intel D2500CCE mITX board. They are colored blue in the picture but mine are bare aluminum colored. Picture also shows a couple of tall heatsinks but they now only come in low profile. |

Cons: - photo isn't matching the product (they aren't blue, and all the heatsinks are the fanned out type)- had to file them down to fit under my GPU heatsink
Pros: - simple to install (unless you have to fit them under something...)- they bring down the temps on my MSI GTX560TI! Comment:
I bought these in hopes that it would bring down the temps on my MSI GTX560TI Twin Frozer II. They did! I saw about 8C drop in core temps after they were installed. I primarily fold with this card, so the temps were a lot higher than those experienced while gaming. These heatsinks brought down my card temps from mid 80s to mid to high 70s while folding. The only downside is that I had to file some of the VRAM sinks down to fit under the GPU heatsink. |

Cons: May not come in blue
Pros: Easy to install, work well Comment:
These stick well, and seem like they will stay in place, but can be removed if necessary (though I haven't tried removing mine).This wasn't an issue for me, but mine came in silver instead of blue. Something to keep in mind in case you care about the colour. |

Cons: Not the same product as described above.
Pros: Cheap, works well. Includes two extra thermal pads. Comment:
Product has been updated by Zalman to work with their newer VF700 and VF900 series of VGA coolers. All 8 heatsinks are now clear anodized aluminum finish and are low profile (6 mm in height). There were no high profile (13 mm high) heatsinks included.Luckily I needed the low profile heatsinks for my application. |

Cons: none
Pros: the low profile allows them to fit almost anywhere! Comment:
great little heat sinks, the low profile allows them to fit almost anywhere!, I use these for xbox 360's, and as they might not be needed, it's highly suggested to remove as much heat from the motherboard as possible. I will defenatly be ordering more in the future. Id give these little guys a 9/10 would have been 10/10 but the price is a little high. |

nothing really
Pros: they workstick nicelycome with 2 extra thermal stickies in case you mess up Comment:
Nice and small, I got these sinks for the mosfets on my motherboard. They were insufficient to cool it but were an improvement. They do get hot so they are trying to work.Pricematched to under $10 |

Cons:
they're blue. I have a red videocard, so now it looks like s***. Fortunately my case does not have a window, so it's all good.
Pros: easy to usekeep RAM cool Comment:
I got these on sale, to go with an Accelero S1 Rev2 heatsink. They were easy to install. They stick very well - as already mentioned, make sure you position them right the first time. They probably do a good job at keeping the memory chips cool, cause I never had any problems with the videocard so far. For $1 each, I would definitely buy these again. And I probably will soon, as I'll be upgrading to a new card soon. |

Cons: - not totally vertical- picture not representative of received product- glue only once
Pros: - inexpensive when PM'd- low profile- replacement glue pad Comment:
This is the cheapest VMR cooling solution when price matched, the low profile makes it compatible with a lot of GPU coolers, and they provide you with replacement glue pads if you need to change one of them (although there's only 2 pads given for 8 ramsinks).The downsides are the shape of the ramsinks that is not totally vertical (can be annoying for some ram configuration) and the picture of the product is not exactly what you'll get (you'll only have the "skewed" ones, not the vertical ones). |

Cons: - None
Pros: - Thermal adhesive sticks well- Good cooling properties- Neato colour! Comment:
As has been stated many times, these make an excellent replacement for the poor vRAM heatsinks that come with the Accelero S1 Rev2.Highly recommended to any modders looking to get a bit of a drop in temps from cooling vRAM, VRMs, or Mosfets (I think someone even used 'em as a heat spreader on some DIMMs?).

Cons: Cooling is debatable
Pros: Strong tape, nice blue aluminum Comment:
Bought 2 packs of these ramsinks. I used them where ever something was getting hot. I used 8 on the backside of my vRAM. Also used some on my mosfets. I can't really measure how well they are cooling, but hey for 10 bucks, i'll take it. Blue ramsinks also look good in my case, so thats a definate plus. They are kinda hard to remove once you have them on though, so put 'em right the first time. After 1.5 year, they are still stuck on good. |

Cons: None so far
Pros: Low heightLooks niceGood thermal tape Comment:
Got these pricematched so they were less than a buck each. Used them to cool off the VRMs on my ATI 4850 video card. They were easy to place and seem like they'll stay on quite well assuming you get it right the first time. I would highly recommend these to anyone |

Cons: Can always use more
Pros: Stick very wellGood for video card memory Comment:
After hearing that NCIX might not have the new revision of the Accelero S1 with the VRM sinks included, I decided to grab a pack of these to cool my VRMs. Luckily for me, when the package arrived, the VRM sinks were included but I also read that the thermal tape on the included RAM sinks weren't so good. I instead opted to use the Zalman RAM sinks on the memory. They stick really well and although I don't have a way of actually quantifying its performance, I think personally that it is working quite well to dissipate heat.If you need some RAM sinks or small heatsinks for whatever purpose (I plan on putting a few of these on the CPU VRMs on my motherboard), I would suggest these as they are quite good. If you don't mind spending the extra coin though, you should consider a copper solution instead of these aluminum sinks. |

Cons: none
Pros: InexpensiveGood Thermal Adhesive Comment:
I got these to pair with my 8800gt and accellero gpu hs and they work way better than the old ones. The other ones tended to not stick, whereas these ones ... well stick. |

Cons: None
Pros: They workGood thermal tape Comment:
Purchased these for an EVGA 8800GT to cool the voltage regulators as I replaced the cooler with an Accelero. Clearance was tight, but it worked. |

Cons: They are not copper?
Pros: They have the bling factor and stick well. Comment:
These are no longer shipped like the picture shows. All 8 of the heat sinks are the shorter version in the picture. I guess this is due to the fit problem many people were having with the taller ones. I have 2 cards with 4 ICs on each so I was able to use this package for 2 cards which is a bonus. |

Cons: - None.
Pros: - Excellent Thermal Tape.- Color - Blue Is Awesome.- Does Not Interfere With The Heatsink On My Videocard. Comment:
I bought these heatsinks after reading reviews of the heatsinks that come with the Accelero S1 Rev 2 heatsink. Basically, the RAM sinks that come with the Accelero do not stick very well at all to anything. This is due to the cheap adhesive on the bottoms of those sinks. The Zalman heatsinks worked out great! I am glad I bought them. They fit on my ATI 1900XT with no problem, and did not interfere with the new heatsink either.Highly recommend them if you are looking into buying the Accelero S1 Rev 2 heatsink. |

Cons: Found tape to be a little hard to stick but still good. Non-low profile sinks needed to be sanded down to allow clearance
Pros: These work great to cool components if you are installing an aftermarket VGA cooler Comment:
Good looking quality ramsinks for any aftermarket VGA installation. Nice looking blue adds style to any case. You may need to grind down the large ones to allow clearance to your cooler. |

Cons: - The taller ramsinks in the pack are about 1mm too tall to fit under an AC Accelero S1 fitted on an 8800GT.- Aluminum... I would've preferred copper ones, but NCIX was out of stock of everything...
Pros: - Good thermal tape- Good quality Comment:
I bought these to use with an Accelero S1 rev1 on an 8800gt. The ramsinks stick well and are of nice quality, alot better than the included ones for the S1. Only problem is that the taller ramsinks in the pack are too tall by about 1mm, and only barely fit under the Accelero S1. They are touching the aluminum fins on the heatsink, and actually pushing up on the cooler and bending it up very very slightly to fit. I was still able to mount the heatsink and the ramsinks did not interfere with mounting pressure, because temps were still great (29C idle 38 load) with the S1 + Turbo Module.Overall they worked good, and were of far better quality than the ones that came with the S1. I just wish the tall ones were a couple millimeters shorter. |

Cons: Do they really cool the ram?
Pros: PriceLook good Comment:
I just bought these to replace the ram heatsink that i received with my accelero s1. Seriously, the ram heatsink that came with the accelero are pie... .. .... They would not stay on for 2 min. The Zalman one came with good thermal tape and i got not problem since the instalation. |

Cons: -Some sinks had problems with sticking
Pros: -Low profile and high profile sinks included (4 and 4)-Aluminum Comment:
I got these to go along with my HR-03 Rev.A installed on an 8800GT. They work great to keep the ram chips cool and the VRMs. Only thing is that they have some trouble sticking, but this issue could be solved by using double-sided 3M tape. |
great looking blue finish and easy to install
