Best RAMsinks for a Ti 4200?

Hi all, I'm going to replace the cooler on my 128MB BFG Ti 4200 with:

http://www.thermaltake.com/coolers/chipset/a1449.htm

but I don't like the RAMsinks on it. My card has 8 TSOP chips, four on each side in the usual configuration, and I want to know the best copper ones to get. Many of them I see have really thick fins that don't seem to work well, and I'd like them to be thinner.

I have used these on my geforce 4 ti 4600, they weren't needed really, but they helped for over clocking for me and did fairly well, tho I was over clocked to the max with my video card and couldn't possibly get higher with my geforce 4 ti 4600. I dont know if copper would be best, but you wouldn't quite need anything to cool the tsop modules.
These should fit ok, they stick to the top of two modules, I had it cooling all the BGA chips and hope they should work on other modules such as tsop and not touch anything.
However I think OCZ has the best set of them:

They have plenty of stuff, and copper ones, but I like the OCZ BGA Ramsinks the best and look good, not sure how well the copper ones hold up, they absorb the heat better, but not disapate the heat as efficiently. However the copper ones are thinner like you want and with their fins like they are might cool pretty well.

I like the OCZ sinks but they are for BGA chips, not TSOP like I have. I can't seem to find anything for my card that I like.

Other opinions?

I have to admit the GIANT III graphics card heatsink looks pretty beefy. Although im afraid that i dont have any links.

Those are what come with the giant 3 it looks like, they fit on tsop memory on ram, likely they will work with your video card too.

Jeordiewhite - That's probably my first choice at the moment, though I wish that the fins were thinner and taller.

Gambler - Yeah the Giant probably isn't what I'm looking for, here's the link:
