Well, I think I read somewhere you can't, and it sure didn't work to well last night!
Anyway, I found an old Antec Jetcool heatsink. I'm trying to see if soldering the little heatsink ring to the aluminum core will net better results compared to using AS3 between the two.
So I ran the test with AS3 on a Duron800, and then I went to solder the two peices together.
I cleaned both peices, sanded them with 180grit to rough 'em up, put some flux on, fired up the butane torche, and the solder would just roll right through the heatsink fins and would not be drawn into the cracks between the heatsink and core...
How can I bond these two peices? Will soldering work or must something else be done?
I got this heatsink for free, and I'm not using it, so I'm not too afraid to break it.
