Added Some RAM Heat Sinks On My 8600M GT

Whenever I play games on my Acer 5920G laptop its GPU temps go as high as 93c. I tried using cooling pads and a cooling mat but didn't help lowered the temps. Searching for an alternate solution, I tried using RAM heat sinks for desktop video cards and put it on my laptop GPU (8600m GT). It didn't fit at first so I tried using a grinder to make it smaller and fit inside the laptop. I want to put on RAM sinks on every RAM on my GPU but I have troubles fitting the RAM sinks on the lower part of the GPU so I'm gonna put it on the upper parts first.



Played some games for hours (Left 4 Dead, Red Alert 3, etc), with a help of a cooling fan plus electric fan aimed directly at the laptop, the GPU temps averages 77c and never go higher than 88c based on Riva Tuner readings. I think the 2 pcs RAM sinks I put really helps. I Will try to put RAM sinks on the remaining RAMs of my GPU and see if it will lower the temps further.
