Epoxy or tape for heatsinks?

[mitaiwan82]

Yo I'm about to get a Geforce2 Pro soon, and I want to get some pentium heatsinks and put them on the memory modules...I was wondering if thermal tape was good enough or if I should go the epoxy way? I figure either way it'll help in my overclocking efforts later, but I'm open to some expert recommandations BTW which prog should I use? When I had my GF2 MX all I used was Coolbits, cuz Powerstrip didn't like my win2k too much

Personally, I use thermal compound with a small drop of super glue gel in the corner. Cover all of the Ram chip with thermal compound, minus the corner where you put the super glue. With this I get good thermal transfer, the ram sinks are secure, and they can be easily removed if needed.

Why not artic silver adheasive/epoxy? It has better thermocondutivity that the original artic silver.......
