can ARCTIC SILVER THERMAL ADHESIVE be placed on a geforce 3 Gpu to mount a big hsf ?

[ReTiCuLeX]

I would like to cool my geforce 3 to overclock it I got some artic silver thermal adhesive that is sitting on my desk brand new. I would like to place a AMD Duron Hsf on the Gpu so I can overclock with good results , is the thermal adhesive ok to put on an GPU or is it only made to mouth memorey chips on video cards ?

You can, but it's pretty much going to be permanent if you don't dilute it with some regular ASII

I don't care if its permenant as long as it lets me put a big HSF hehe and overclock ;) . Thx for the help bro.

Just make sure that if the adhesive fails you have something that'll stop the HSF destroying the PCI cards that it will fall on.

i have a fop 32 on my geforce 2 mx that is held on with two blobs of superglue and thermal paste, it will not go anywhere
