Im looking for double sided sticky thermal pads to attach my ramsinks to the ram on my 79GT. I tried the whole ceramique/crazy glue thing and i didnt like how i had to scrape off the glue in the end. I just want something thatll stick well, and can easily peel off when i need to upgrade/sell the card. Any suggestions? And inexpensive would be nice too :D
 
The best stuff I have found (and I've tried almost everything I think) is this stuff.

Very hard to find, but VERY thin and VERY sticky. I highly suggest you lap your ramsink to get them FLAT and then you "buff" up your ram with some 1000/1500 grit wetsand paper to make a nice surface to attach to.

No thermal tape is going to stick well to those RAM chips unless you buff 'em out a bit. I've cleaned 'em with everything I know of and it didn't help. As soon as I buffed 'em, all kinds of stuff stuck really well.

My copper Vantec Iceberq ramsinks are very stuck on my ram now. :) And as long as you get things mated FLAT, this is the best heat transfer tape you can buy.
