How to secure a heatsink onto my ram?
I have one stick of pc133 128mb on my mobo, and i was wondering when i overclock, would it help to put a heatsink on the ram? If so, what do i do, put paste on the top, and secure a heatsink on? how could i secure it?
 
Chilling your ram to below room temperature would probably help overclocking, but RAM doesen't really get hot... I guess it wouldn't hurt, though.


Use a very small dab of superglue on corner(s), and high quality thermal grease in the centre.
 
Yeah, that would work too. I just like using superglue to secure and grease for the interface because it provides better thermal transfer than epoxy and tape 🙂
 
Use ordinary silicone rubber RTV sealant, and press the parts together for 30 minutes. Silicone rubber is a decent heat conductor and glue, and thermal pads are made of it.

Don't try anything silly like super glue. Epoxy is all right but unnecessary, and it makes it much harder to remove the heatsink later on if needed.
