Thank you for purchasing the best in custom RAMsinks that are available on the market today! If you are unclear as to which style of RAMsink your card requires, please see this page. Now, this guide will apply to just about any kind of RAM chip you would ever want to permanently mount a heat sink to, but we will focus on attaching the Tweakmonster BGA RAMsinks to an ATI Radeon 9700 PRO video card for the example.
(our disclaimer.....) "Tweakmonster.com is not responsible for any damage to any hardware caused by the installation of these RAMsinks. If this is a problem for you, please return them to where you got them from."
With that out of the way, let's install these bad boys! First, gather what you will need: 1) Video card (or other victim) that is soon to be modded. 2) Non-conductive thermal adhesive, or thermal pads. I highly recommend Arctic Alumina Adhesive. 3) A few cotton swabs. (very handy tools) 4) Tweakmonster RAMsinks (of course) 5) Isopropyl alcohol, or equivalent, for cleaning purposes.
Also, be sure to work in a spot that won't get harmed if it gets filthy. Thermal adhesive is VERY messy! It would also be good if it was a place that your work would not get harmed for a few hours while drying.
