How to mount Crystal Orb on Sapphire Radoen 8500?

[Belis9]

I ordered from a site that said the Crystal Orb would work on a radeon 8500. I have a sapphire card. It included mounting pins, but there is no where to put the mounting pins in on the card. Any ideas on getting the Crystal orb to stick to the sapphire radeon 8500.

arctic silver or arctic alumina epoxy.

So "Arctic Alumina Thermal Epoxy" is strong enough to attach a heatsink to the GPU without pin locks? I dont want to order some more stuff over the internet and wait a few more days, I sure hope there is a chance I can get thermal epoxy at the local computer shop.

AA thermal epoxy is extremely strong. i doubt you'll be able to get it at a local store, but you never know.

I checked on this substance and it clearly says do not use on CPU's (Which I assume would be GPU's as well). Hmm. How can I get the Crystal orb to stick to the Radeon 8500 GPU?

listen: the reason Arctic Silver says not to use epoxy on CPU's is because a CPU is generally removeable and one would have to remove the heatsink/fan along with the CPU. GPU's aren't removeable. AS and AA epoxy was made for GPU's. use AS or AA epoxy.
