HS atachment

[BrianCapps]

I'm planning on getting a new cooler for my P3 and moving the stock cooler to my GF2. My question is: how do I attach it? What is AS Vs. AS II? Thanks for the help!

By the way, I am now a MEMBER! Wahoo!

Use Arctic silver adhesive in this ratio so you can remove it if you ever decide to move these HSF's to your next upgrade,

I have found that arctic silver adhesive works best with this ratio

Mix the Arctic silver in this blend

1part A adhesive
1part B adhesive
1part regular arctic silver II
Arctic silver's website recommends a formula of 50% part A and 50% part B if its permenent

Or they also recommend
50%part A and B thermal adhesive and 50% Arctic Silver II

I find my ratio of 1part A adhesive
1part B adhesive
1part regular arctic silver II

works best as and is stronger and will hold the weight easily( I have a very Heavy Heatsink on my Video Card, the Alpha pal 15u:

There is also another trick

Mix up this formula :

1part A adhesive
1part B adhesive
1part regular arctic silver II

And apply it only to the corners of the gpu approximatly one sqr centimeter on each side in the corners. and use regular Arctic silver on the rest of the GPU.

THis works well and is my current method that I used when I affixed my Alpha15u
