What is something local I can buy besides AS epoxy for good thermal transfer for a northbridge?

[EXman]

my NB is Kla-pooey and it does not have the normal 2 plugs to just put a new one on.

will ACE hardware have something. I called twice and keep getting goobers that don't understand on the phone

it is a BH7 mobo.

I read your other thread and personally think you ought to RMA it, but if you don't I guess this happens alot with ABIT boards and those new NB clips. Alot of people are making paperclip hooks (U's actually and putting them through the hole the clip vacated) to hold on their heatsinks and they are working fine. You might go check over at the ABIT forums to see if there is anything special about doing that.

I wouldn't mount the northbridge with thermal epoxy.

Have you thought about good ol' nuts and bolts?

You could certainly get those at the hardware store!

Use some good grease and put a tiny dab of superglue on each corner (no grease on the corners). Press down 30 secs. or so and it should hold and be easy to take off as well
