Attaching Heatsinks

[Rudster8161]

anyone know how to attach heatsinks without anything like screws like thermal tape...double sided

 

[alvino]

On what? CPU? GPU? RAM chips? Chipset?

 

[ownage]

use thermal epoxy...or thermal tape.

 

[Rudster8161]

a gpu. where can i find thermal epoxy, newegg?

 

[ownage]

yeah, look for Artic Alumina Thermal Epoxy. Keep in mind that it is permanant and you will NOT be able to get it off.

 

[NEED WOW NOW]

o well i was wondering is Thermal Compound Permanant?

No, but it's not the same thing that they're talking about. Thermal compound you will still have to screw down the heatsink/fan, it's just regular thermal paste.

Uh why do you have a GPU without a heatsink in the first place? Yeah you need epoxy to glue it on.

Maybe he wants to jerry-rig one on there or something. I hope it isn't an expensive GPU.

lmao expensive?!?! its a geforce 2 32mb gpu that my brother wants. the old heatsink was small and allowed it to overheat. i have a larger cpu heatsink that i tried putting on with duct tape needless to say it didnt work
