Hey all. Been a while since I posted on these forums
Anyhow, I was wondering about the above mentioned product. Can it be used to attach a heatsink to a CPU? No we are not talking about a big, bad, XP-120, just a standard cooler.
The problem being, at the side of the CPU bracket, one of the attachments for the heatink clip has broken off, so I can't fasten the HS anymore. Now I thought thermal adhesive would solve this problem, but I'm reading on the websites (artic silver, zalman, etc) NOT to use it for a HS-CPU bond. *Grumble*. The mobo is only small and the housing a desktop, so it won't be vertical.
Can anyone give me some advice in this regard (never used adhesive before, only AS5 and no, It wasn't me that damaged the CPU slot, gg) ? Thanks.
