Could a epoxy glue be made if a person could mix super glue(gel or liquid) with ASII? Would this work? Just curious if anything has tried it or thinks it might work.

I'm willing to bet the superglue will really, really reduce the thermal conductivity of the ASII. That, and/or it might catch on fire. Either way, it would be a bad thing. Just buy the AS epoxy and be done with it. Risking your $100 CPU for saving $5 on the thermal compound does not make sense... unless your name is Doc Smarts ;)

Rather than create a mixture, just put the ASll neatly in the middle and a tiny bit of super glue on the corners. I have been using this strategy on video cards for years.

I have been doing the samething for years and haven't had a problem with it yet.
