I'd like to overclock my Chaintech GeForce4 MX440, and I'm getting TweakMonster ramsinks for it, but I'm not sure what kind of GPU heatsink to put on, or should I angle a fan to blow on it directly ?

try mod the card with copper CPU coolers, you should be able to find how tos on the web. or you can buy a zalmen heatpipe VGA cooler, those things are huge but lacks a fan, you always add 2 60mm's on top with little effort

Hmmm, that was my thought. I was looking at the Zalman ones, but too expensive/big. Would you have any other suggestions? Maybe one of the Thermaltake ones (like the crystal orb?)... but again, which is the best...

The crystal orb is nice... but don't get the bluo orb as that one sucks.
You can also buy a nice Socket 7 HSF and place that on your GPU with some modding.

My CPU runs so hot the arctic silver undergoes nuclear fusion :eek: .

Thanks, I guess I'll be looking somewhere around the golden orb, maybe the copper orb, but I'm not really sure about what else I can put on there... I mean, weight restrictions is my biggest concern. And the RAM-sinks, do those need to be air cooled as well, or will they do fine withought? Thanks.

Well RAMsinks don't help very much with overclocking unless your RAM runs pretty hot. But they sure look nice and if you can get them cheap it is always nice to have them. But they wont need aircooling.

And weight restrictions aren't that strict... it more the pressure that counts (that is the combination of wheight, and pressure of the connecting clips when horizontal).
And yes there aren't much GPU coolers... Titan has some orbs and most chipset coolers fit on GPUs (except with those new GeForce4 mounting holes).

ye... mini copper orb is a good choice. it has a small base that fits almost perfect on to the gpu. plus it performs better than the golden orb
