video card heatsink question. please help!

[cyberserf]

Hi,

I removed video card heatsink from my Visiontek Geforce3 ti200. I needed to do this so I can use my dremel to remove some of the portions of the heatsink so my video waterblock can fit. My question is what type of glue or substance should I use to stick the heatsink back onto the memory chips. The substance that was there seems pretty hard and I dont know what it is or what to use. any ideas? links to purchase?
Thanks to all who respond.!!

* If you want non-permanent, I'd recomend some T412 Thermattach tape. Millisec is a great company and it will be a sad day when they finally shut their doors.
* For a permanent fix, use some AS Epoxy. SVC is also a great company.
* Arctic Silver Epoxy instructions

HAPPY COOLING

thanks Blain,

Anything that I can get from the local HomeDepot that will work as good? need it now. checked Millesec.com but they dont seem to have the thermal stuff in stock. :frown: any other places on web that carries this material?

Thanks!!
