Artic Aluminum Epoxy Thermal Adhesive for install of Ram Active Cooler?

[Emericana]

I f*cked up the adhesive stuff that came w/ a thermal take active mem cooler. I was wondering if getting some Arctic Alumina Epoxy will stick the heatspreader onto the ram? is there any instructions on how to install this stuff?

[Placid]

Yes it will work just never remove the spreader.
Use a tiny amount on each memory chip so there no chance of it getting on the chip leads.

Make sure you try the position of the heatspreader with the memory installed before you do it or you might end up not being able to put the memory all the way in the slot.

Do you mean Arctic Alumina?

Yea just make sure you install it right and even though they claim it isn't capcitive or conductive DO NOT GET IT IN THE LEADS.

Did you clean out the previous bloopers? :D
