Pros: Cheap and easy to use. You can stick them easy by removing the protective film.
Cons: Very very poor glue quality ! I have put those on my hd4850 card and 4 of 8 the heat sinks fell down on the next day.
I tried to attach them back again but they won't stick. This product not suitable for upside-down mounting as all the parts will fall down.
Other Thoughts: I will buy a thermal glue for sticking them back to the card.
Bottomline: Bad product , cheap but very bad quality.
They made of aluminum which is not the best material to cool things down. If it was copper it was better.
Works well and at a good price

Pros: The heatsinks are of decent quality and cool things like memory and voltage regulators of graphics card adequately.
Cons: The thermal adhesive pads were not always put straight onto the heatsinks, although that didn't seem to affect the conductivity or adhesive power.
Other Thoughts: So far the heatsinks seem to adhere well to the chips, as long as you clean the chips properly before putting them on. I also used an eraser on the chips, as this greatly increases the adhesive power of memory heatsinks like these. Just a couple of rubs will do.
Bottomline: If you're looking for something to cool your graphic's card memory or voltage regulators: this is a good choice. It might also work well for DDR2 chips, but it would make the RAM very wide.
Super!

Pros: Using this to cool down the chips in my retro gaming and computer collection. Perfect for SID chips in the C64.
Also using this to cool down all the chips on the motherboard and other boards in the computer. They are so cheap so I am slapping them on every chip I see. Perfect for memory chips, network controller chips and for other chips without any fastening system. Just glue these in place.
Good packaging. Right price. Works.
Cons: None that I could think of.
Other Thoughts: Not sure if the aluminium is the best quality, but it does the work!
Bottomline: Cool your computer down! Overclockers buy!
Decent, but heatsink fins are a little short...

Pros: These had a decent thermal self-adhesive backing, and work well in tight spaces because the heatsink fins are so short.
Cons: These were significantly shorter than other ram-sinks I have used before. These are also not the same dimentions as the chips on a stick of RAM. These may be better used on various chips on your mobo, or other electronic devices.
Other Thoughts: These worked great inside my routers and switches.
Bottomline: Decent, but shorter than other comparable ramsink products.
