I was originally planning on using super glue and ASII to stick the ramsinks on my rams. Is this a good idea? I know I should not get ASII anywhere close to the pins and all that other junk. Is there anything else that will work better. How about JB Weld? The bad thing about that is that its permanent and well I dont want something permanent unless I got no choice. Please help me before I kill my card:o Thanx

You can use Artic Alumina Adhensive.

It should stick well but whatsoever don't get the idea to be sloppy none of these paste should go paste the memory you should be spreading the thermal paste slowly.

I use a tiny bit of super glue on each corner of the ram chips and spread arctic silver on the rest of the chip. Thermal glue would be nice but I never wanted to spend mony on it.

I use Elmers Glue on the edges. LOL :eek:
If ya gotta pull them off to RMA the card you can with no prob.

AS or ASII is also a must.

Get Arctic Alumina (or Arctic Silver) Adhesive. It adhese's without glue. I recomend Alumina because it is safe on the RAMpins (its not conductive nor capacitive)
