Ive got some ram sinks on my graphics card that keep falling off can I just glue them on using normal super glue or is there something special I need to buy to stick them on with??

Looks like the stuff I need but I need it tonight really do you think id get away with just using normal double sided sticky tape??

 

[shadowscotland]

thermal pads or tim glue

stick with the pads

don't use double sided - it will melt!

if you must go getto style - mix 20% epoxy resin with 80% tim
work quickly and only use a small about on each

edit: oops not super glue you need Epoxy resin

Have no idea but I guess it wouldn't do any harm. If it overheats it'll just lock up, but don't blame me if ya fry it!
