how good is thermal tape?

[Zebo]

I want to put some ram sinks on and have two choices. themal tape that came with them or some acrtic silver epoxy. The epoxy has definite disadvantege that if I go to sell/RMA vcard it's not stock anymore and not removable.

What would you do?

Thermal tape is horrible.

Ramsinks void warranty? Hmm. Thought most companies only cared if you tried to pop off the OEM core cooling.

I'd say mix a 1:1:2 of A/B epoxy and AS5 - that should be thermally conductive and nonpermanent enough to remove with dental floss.

Slightly better than electrical tape.

Wow did not know that! Thermaltake sells the ram sinks with tape so I thought itda be good.

Merc I once tried diluting AS epoxy 1:1:1 and then I ripped all my mem modules off the card trying to get it off...even after the so-called "feezer method"///

Maybe I'll try 1:1:2or3 on this card
