cheap thermal epoxy?

[Jhill]

My heatsinks on my pny gforce 3 ti 200 are falling off. I need some thermall expoxy to hold them back on. Newegg has artic silver thermal adhesive for 11 dollars and 6 dollars shipping. 17 dollars is quite a bit just to hold my heatsinks on. Does anyone know where I can get some thermal epoxy or adhesive that will hold my heatsinks on that is cheaper?

Thanks for any help

Hmmm,

Cant really say for sure on the epoxy, atleast thats cheaper. But you may try this as I have done it many times without failure. Use a dab of Arctic Silver spread out in the center leaving the four corners of the chip WITHOUT the AS. Then in the four corners use dabs of superglue.

Hope this cheap remedy helps you

Thanks, that sounds like a good idea. Are you sure that the part of the chip with the glue wont overheat? Im just worried about the 4 corners that dont have any thermal grease on them.
