Default modifying your video card - advice needed

I'm planning on modifying a riva tnt2 ultra card. I have two and want to compare the gain of a modified card vs the stock card.
I plan on slapping a fop38 or a thermaltake orb on the thing as well as memory heatsinks.
I want to epoxy them to the chips.
Is there a danger of ruining the chips if i get the epoxy on the connector pins? Should i seal the pins with silicone first?
Am i wasting my time with memory heatsinks?
I'd really like to know about the silicone thing because i will need to add hsfs to my incoming iwill kk266 mobo's south and northbridges and don't want to screw them up :P Thanks
