Hey tates. how did you attach them to your 8500? I used some sinks that came with my ram sinks. I cut them into smaller HSs and used the double sidded tape the ramsinks came with. I didnt want to use AS glue on them, but might. I can only oc my memory to 192

Don't pay for overpriced equipment. Just go to your local Radio Shack and purchase some of their component heatsinks. They are huge and give great cooling. They even beat out an aftermarket 'overclocker' brand, but I forget where the review was :|. I can't find the ones that I've bought, but you can take a look at some here for less than $0.50 each.

or if you don't want to buy artic silver epoxy....just put some artic silver thermal paste (or any other thermal paste) and a small dot of superglue.

You can also mix up a batch of the epoxy, then add ASIII thermal compund in a half and half mixture. It will provide a strong bond, but not permanent.
