MCW50 x Ramsinks
 

Hi friends, i have just ordered a mcw50 gpu block to use with my Ati 9800, but i do have 8 Microcool chipsinks already installed on the memory.
They are 18 mm tall. Anybody can help me if the ramsinks would block the tubing ???:(
Thanks a lot..

Did you check the chipsink dimensions? I'm not sure if they are BGA sized...

12x15x18 the ones you bought, the chipsinks.

BGA ramsinks are generally around these dimentions 16x13x9mm

the chipsinks dimensions( from microcool site) 15(L)x12(W)x18(H) mm .
Look the side view with bga sinkshttp://www.swiftnets.com/assets/imag...-clearance.jpg

Lol first of all in that picture they used the wrong kind of ramsinks, those are not BGA those are the regular memory size, you can see that on the side views. BGA ones are nearly square, normal memory is rectangular. 2nd of all BGA ramsinks cover them entirely they should at least, so wouldn't the bottom surface you listed, 15x12 be too small? compared to others being, 16x13 on the bottom? But I mean if you have it on there working nm, but if not...

Here are some examples of how it is SUPOSE to fit...
