AS5 for the ram chips

[tigersty1e]

So the glue on some of my ram chips are coming off.

How would AS5 work for the tiny little ramsinks?

They don't weight much and the AS5 seems to have a little sticky properties.

AS5 isn't very sticky once it gets hot so they might not work.

You could ruin your card by putting AS5 in your vram. Best would be to use pads.

Just test your card with the ram sinks off.

They don't always do that much good.

There are some issues with using AS5 on ramsinks. There is the possibility that due to the high frequency the chips can ground out through the silver filling in the paste. Best to use ceramique instead.
