Ok so i asked my father if he could get some thermal epoxy for me..and so he did.. he gave it to me and said dont ask him for help cause he doesnt know how and we will proboly end up fighting after ..

anyway i got this thermal Adhesive and these 2 cylinders of epoxy, not sure exactly if the thermal adhesive is good enough for this heatsink:

Its for the southbridge of my ABIT- NF7-s v2.0 ..

Heres a pic of the epoxy and the therm adhesive

these are the links to its specs:

My main question

1. Will the thermal adhesive be enough to hold that heatsink to the southbridge?
2. Is this thermal adhesive better than, say arctic alumina. Im not sure how to interpret the specs of : Thermal Conductivity 0.83 W/m · °K
3. Should i use the above pictured epoxy with it? if so do i mix them or something?
 
south bridges usualy do not need cooling.... sooo no matter how bad it is its a improvement :p
 
If your unsure about this stuff, you could try mixing AS into the Epoxy when you mix it up. People add regular AS to AS epoxy all the time so I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work here too.
