Heatsink Bonding?--secret recipe

[beefey]

Has anyone ever tried mixing super glue into there thermal compound?I just did it on some bogus heatsink leadtek sent me for a replacement that didn't fit the push-pin holes. It seems to work pretty well... Heat is under control and that thing isnt coming off any time soon. Tell me if you guys think there will be any repercussions in the near future?

Yup, but not for a GPU or CPU.. Only for ramsinks and southbridge sinks.

I just did it on a ti4200... seems to work... for cpu it wouldnt really be that practical considering you have the lugs. BTW does ne1 kno if the heatsinks of the ram of the my old ass 4200 are just for show or do they need to have cooling?

Sounds like a great idea but you need to use a de-gluing solution if you decide change HS

Just for show really. Not all cards have them.

mind the cash... i was strapped for some AS glue....

I wouldn't mix them, what I've done is put the TIM in the middle of the chip and superglue all the way around the edge. If it mixes too much I'd be afraid it wouldn't hold.

Same.
