Hi there,
Anyone can give me an advise about what to use to stick my heatsink to my Gforce 4 Ti4200 rams? I heard that artic adhesive is pretty good at that? but i don't want the heatsink permanently stick there. so which epoxy or glue should i use to stick it? I already have artic silver 3 here. Is it a good idea to put artic silver 3 on the middle of the ram, and put some epoxy or glue on the side? Where can i buy it for < $10?

ASIII is very conductive, more so than ASII, and can actually short the ram if too much is applied causing severe artifacts or a dead card.
Just a touch of superglue at the ends works well, with a stripe of ASII in the center.
