There used to be a Canadian store online that sold anodized aluminum ramsinks in multiple colours, and they were cheap!

I can no longer find the store (I assume it went under), but I also cannot find any anodized aluminum ramsinks!

What I need are black anodized BGA ramsinks.

I couldn't find any regular stores selling them normally so I did some digging and came up with these. Hope they help. Sorry but I didn't check any prices on them so you'll have to do that.

http://www.calgreg.com/tyco/chip-coolers.html (actually for chipset but comes in sizes that can easily be adopted for ramsinks)
http://www.radianheatsinks.com/Produ...dardLineup.htm (check these...you'll just have to cut one up. This site also contains BGA heatsinks but they are kinda big for ramsink use....but they can always be modded.

Hey Anon,

thanks for the great links!

I found this guy at the AMDMB forums:

http://www.amdforums.com/showthread....hreadid=261434

Black aniodized BGA sinks with frag tape for $0.55 a piece! Also, black aniodized southbridge passive sinks for $2.50.

I got 32 BGA sinks and 2 southbridge sinks for the same price as about 8 retail sinks ( Tweak Monster or OCZ etc.).

I suspect he ordered a boat load custom made from somewhere like #6 you linked above, and he is now selling of the excess.

Anyhow, thanks for sniffing around.
