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.
Works fine on an Nvidia 8800GT

Pros: I've had this for over 2 months and it seems to be working perfectly. Not that hard to install. You just peel the protective film/tape and stick it on to your chip. So far, it's holding up fine and it's keeping everything running without a hitch.
Cons: Nothing that I can think of. Price could be a bit cheaper, I suppose.
Other Thoughts: Be sure to clean the chip off thoroughly before you apply the heatsink or it will not adhere. I used this with a fanless heatsink, which did not come with heatsink for the voltage regulator. It wasn't hard to use at all but when you take the original heat sink off, you will notice a slimy/oily residue which prevents the adhesive on the back to adhere properly. I had to wipe it off really well before it would finally adhere.
Bottomline: Looked everywhere else for this and if you calculate the shipping costs with other online sites, this is by far the cheapest. Works well, too. No real complaints here. Could be cheaper if you consider what's in it, though.
Recommend this product to overlock vga
