where to get the glue for heatsink on video card?

[laugh]

the heatsink on my Radeon fell off. Crap. I don't know how to put it back. I see there is a layer of thin glue on bottom of the heatsink. I have no idea where to get the appropriate glue to paste it back.

any suggestions? Thanks!

You could always use thermal tape. Works pretty good for holding these small heatsinks. Also expoy works well.

You might want to look for Arctic Silver thermal adhesive. Newegg carries it, as do other online vendors.

Check that out too; cheap prices, good shipping.

I would use Arctic Alumina Epoxy instead of the Arctic Silver Epoxy.
Arctic Silver is conductive and you have to use contact grease or something similar to
protect the leads around your GPU.
Do a search on the net for horror stories about shorting out the leads on your GPU.
As Dennis Miller would say "course that's just my opinion I coud be wrong."

netranger has a point, i only used the as adhesive for my ramsink mod and i was extra careful to use electical tape to cover the ram pins, so i'd suggest using artic alumina adhesive for the gpu, both work great.
