heatsink glue or epoxy?

[kutilangs]

Hi there,
can anyone 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?

Just put a drop of superglue on each corner. About $1 for generic superglue.

With AS3 in the middle or just the superglue? won't the superglue act as an insulator?

2 or 4 (depends if its bga or "normal" ram....for the lack of a better term) teeny tiny drops of superglue in corners, with as3 smack dab in the middle
as long as theres only a bit of superglue, it wont hurt too bad

don't use krazy glue.. it will keep a big gap between the heatsink and the mem...

maybe other brand super glue.. i had good luck with loc tite super glue.. that one works the best... i just put a dab on each corner of my geforce3, and i stick on a monster heatsink... runs cool as heck...
