ok so ive decided to get a thermal take cooling kit for my ti4200. First off all how hard will it be to instal the heatsync and fan? also how will i attach the ram syncs. Will regular as3 hold them in place? thanks. O also if there are any other kits out there let me know. Im looking to spend no more than 15 shipped. also a note my Geforce is a vistiontek xtasy so it already has a blue orb on it. So i need a improvement not a downgrade.

the Thermaltake GF4 Ti copper HSF and RAM sinks is awesome!!.
They are great. Getting the retail heatsink off it's hard at all. It's selfexplenatory once you look at the back of the card.

No, AS3 won't hold the RAM sinks, the Thermaltake kit comes with thermal take that hold them. But do put AS3 on the chip it's self and then mount the new heatsink, then you would get lower temps.

It's really easy, I've done it on multiple of my own cards and customer cards.

Taking the HSF off is hard if they have used artic silver glue along wiht the 2 pins. It took me afew hours to get my HSF off my Visiontek Ti4400.
The ram sinks are easy just use the tape or some as. The sinks realy helped my ram overclock but the HSF did nothing.

you weak A$$!! lol j/k

ButI had no trouble at all getting the damn thing out on a bunch of cards. Yeah, you need to use some force but they come out fine after you losen the 2 pins.

The VisionTek Ti series card have an unremovable GPU fan. Make sure you check your card before you purchase this fan.
