I though that too. The OP said he tried it and it didn't work. Worked for my when I switched cards. It's not like there really that heavy, especally compared to the OCZ Copper ones when wheigh probably twice as much.

Because I gave him the 50 cent way to fix it, you just gave him the $30 way to fix it, and as ironic pointed out, you can use superglue remover to take it off.

Yup. I scroll past most Fred/p00p garbage.

Takes me about three minutes to read the whole forum.

I used superglue once. I put AS5 in the center then a tad of super glue on the edges to hold on. Worked great.

Ouch an FX60???? and only at 2.9??? My Opti 148 runs at 3.2 on air! Dont get me wrong, that is one kick as chip. I know the stats compared to an Opti so no need to post about it, but in a gamming rig??? Total waste of $. I AM NOT RIPPING, please dont take it that way. I just hope you do much more then play games with it. ;)

I passed the AN35N/XP2400+/9800 Pro down to my son.

I'm savin' up to add another Raptor to this box so I can compete with your Raid setup. *Snicker*

BASTAGE!!!!

Btw, the guy that posted above about using AS 5 and then super glue on the corners, this trick does work but I have found it is really easy to knock the sink off using that method, better off just hitting the whole surface of the sink with super glue.

Last time I was over at a friends place that I used that AS5/glue trick on his card, we found one of the sinks sitting in the bottom of his case, said screw it and went out and grabbed some AS Epoxy and redid all the sinks, them fuggers aint movin again.
