Hey guyz, I need a quick answer here. As i stated before, I just purchased a 4850 from a member here, but the fan is borked. I've got a HR-03 R600 which I modded a tiny bit to use on my X1800XT. The 4850 has the same holes on the pcb and after careful searching found the HR-03 will fit.
Now the main question is the ram on the card. I have some ramsinks and plenty of thermal tape. The problem is they won't f-ing stick! I've cleaned off the ramchips with 90% alcohol and stil the thermal tape won't stick.
1) Does the ram need to be cooled on this card?
2) What else can I use to make the thermal tape stick ( besides crazy glue)?
I need an answer right quick guyz as I'm working on the card now.
