on my 9800pro, I would have said no way. The ram was warm to very warm max with no heatsinks.

On my 6800nu, I'm not so sure. That thing is so hot that almost the entire pcb is too hot to touch. The memory absolutely smokes, and I would think adding heatsinks just about anywhere wouldn't hurt. Not the memory specifically in that case but just the whole damn card.

I still can't get over the 6800 properties screen where the auto-shutdown temp defaults to 125 C or something. Graphics cards are just nothing like cpus these days.
