Best and strongest thermal glue?

[Jhill]

I noticed the heatsinks on my PNY gforce 3 ti 200 are falling off because they are just held on by sticky tape. My video card is facing downward in my box so the heatsinks have gravity to deal with so I need something that will really harden and secure them in place. I've never used and type of thermal glue before so I'm not sure what I need to buy.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Arctic Silver II would be the one to get for CPU processors. I'm pretty sure that you can use it on your video card as well. I have a Monster Fusion that has an Antec fan modded onto it. Just remember not to put so much that it oozes out from the sides. Instructions Hope this helps.

On the instruction page it says caution" this is not an adhesive".

Since I'm using it on my video card I need something that will dry and harden and make the heatsinks stay in place even when the card is upside down.

Thanks anyway

jb weld. There is some stuff that dries in just a couple of minutes. Its fairly cheap, a super adhesive, and it conducts heat very well as well.

Arctic Silver Thermal Adhesive. I don't know how well JB Weld conducts heat, but I'm pretty sure it conducts electricity, which is pretty bad.

BTW, if you get this stuff, be sure to sure a thin layer. Heck, use a thin layer with everything.

Arctic Silver Thermal Adhesive is what you're looking for. You can get it at mwave.com and I believe Frys carries it. Also many other places.
