Attaching a fan to a socket 7 heatsink

Bigdogbmx · Jul 3, 2003

does anyone know how you would fit a fan to one of these heatskinks? I want to use it on the core of my radeon 8500. Thanks for any replies in advance.

Superglue. Just glue something to use as a spacer to the fan first then glue it to the heatsink. You could also try GOOP. I've used that as a gasket on case fans to dampen the vibration.

if you can get some big enought self tapping screws they would do it, but those heatsinks were made for passive cooling.

Cheers, I think Ill try superglue, sounds easier. For ramsinks could I just put sperglue on the corners and CPU pase in the middle? I am buying a CPU heatsink that comes with paste so I was going to use that instead of shelling out the 10 pounds for arctic silver.

good choice

10 pounds for srtic silver! Sounds like you're getting hosed. I got some for $5 or less three months ago. You might want to look around for a better price. You can do RAM sinks that way if you choose but the temps would be better with articsilver adheasive. Have fun.
