oh boy went to slide the heatsink on and half the ram chips fell off again 
Your lucky yours were stuck on !
They havent done a good job with the heatsinks, shame they couldnt have supplied epoxy or better sticking ones.
Does anyone know if that silver paste behind the heatsinks will harden up and stick to the ram chips ?

Only issue is got a whole pc to build and thats now halted due to lack of thermal epoxy =/
Does anyone else know if theres bonded over time? or did everyone end up having to go out and buy thermal epoxy ?

Well went into nothaplins today and they dont stock thermal sticky sheets or thermal epoxy anymore
Proberly doesnt help Ocuk doesnt have any in stock either !
Yeah totaly agreed for a product thats 35 quid they could have spent 5 minutes testing the product, product should really be recalled or a free epoxy/sticky pads kit should be on offer for customers having trouble.
