Hey all, as the title really. I have recently received a GPU with a custom cooler fitted from the MM and all of the adhesive has lost its 'stickiness' and is all grubby, so it is no good for sticking to the chips anymore. I have removed the thermal pads as best I can from the little heat-sinks and would like to know how you recommend attaching them?
I was looking at a sheet of Akasa thermal adhesive which I could cut to size and use which is extremely cheap http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=TH-001-AK&tool=3, or would I be better off using 'liquid' thermal adhesive? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=TH-005-AC
Is the akasa stuff sticky on both sides?
I would like to avoid permanent ways such as using superglue just in case of the need to RMA etc.
Thanks all
