Hi !

I have Gigabyte video card, model GV-NX66256DP (GeForce 6600 GPU),
My GPU cooled by Zalman Fatal1ty FC-ZV9.
The Ram heatsinks that provided in the package of the Fatal1ty cooler doesn't fit my Ram chips.
I have found out Thermaltake heatsinks that fits my Ram chips
http://www.thermaltake.com/product/C...1978/A1978.asp
As you can see there are two kinds of heatsinks with an identical dimensions.
The first made of copper,
the second made of aluminum but have more fins.

Which one of these two will give me better performance in overclock ?

Even that the heat conductance of copper is almost twice as much as alu's, alu tends to dissipate heat faster, for this reason and because its got more fins, the aluminum ones would do better.
This is also why you see a balance btw the two materials in good HSFs.
