How hot can super glue / Liquid Nails Perfect Glue get before it breaks down?

I had to use some Liquid Nails Perfect Glue 2 to secure my blower to its copper heat sink base after I stripped the screws when I removed the blower to mount to the motherboard.

I want to know if I should be concerned about the heat in the case in realation to the glue. The glue worked great to secure the blower. Put a little in each screw socket and inserted to the screws and also glue together the contact areas on the HS and blower.

Do I need to be concerned with the heat?

These things are only like $40, so I could just buy a new HSF, but I'd prefer not to burn the money if not necessary....

Thanks. Here is the link

Nevermind:

PERFECT GLUE 2: 32 degrees farenheit to 175 degrees farenheit or 0 degrees celsius to 80 degrees celsius

I assume if I hit 80 degrees celcius I have bigger problems to worry about..........

Blue silicone at the automotive store is used for an engines gaskets & has to take a lot of heat.
The automotive silicone is oil resistant er tollerant.

Bath tub and tile silicone is 100% nonconductive but doesn't handle gas or oil products very well.

I use bath tub & tile silicone for lots of stuff, it's 100% silicone, handles some serious heat, glues mismatch shapes, etc.

I used silicon to put a broken board back together and ran small jumper wires across to solder points
to replace the broken circuts. It wasn't a multi layered board, or it had a few layers, can't remember,
I've done it a few times now.
But hold the board up to a light bulb to trace the circuts.
Then use silicon blobs holds the wires in place.

I once glued a cooling fins to a CPU with super glue and it worked fine.

CAUTION, slippery when siliconed.
I did a bathroom repair job once and used silicone.
The next day the tenant slipped on the floor & fell.
The drying silicone fumes settled to the floor and made it slick like ice.
I didn't like that job anyway.

Watch out. Silicone that smells like vinegar is corrosive. I used it on a plated metal before and it corroded away the zinc plating.
