    They definitely fit but I didn't notice any difference in temps when I tested. I wouldn't bother with the aluminum ones though, copper has much better heat dissipation.

    They're meant for desktop graphics cards, usually when you have fitted an after market cooler or water block. You'd have to take the whole GPU heatsink plate off a 260M to fit them on the RAM and then you would have no cooling on the actual GPU :eek:

    I was thinking of adding them on the existing GPU and CPU heatsinks for a little extra air cooling. I was not sure if I would be able to put the cover back on though...

    I was going to go with the copper ones, I just through the aluminum ones in for giggles...

    Here like this guy did.... http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/5421/gedc0087.jpg

    Added around 16 of them in mine.

    There is no great difference in temperature in terms of long term gaming. Its only below by like 1-2C with the heatsink.

    The greatest difference is my temperature during normal operations like typing, viewing web, etc. My core temp is around 37-40 without heatsink. With it, its around 33-35. GPU also is around 40C without heatsink. came down to 36-37 with it. (room temp is always 27C)

    Going to see if i can add a plate to HDD. Not sure if it will fit since there didnt seem to br any extra space, but we will see.


    Edit: Well checking kaltmond thread, looks like i can add quite a bit more in the upper right side. ill check for any difference once more is added.
