Ramsink question

[MX2times]

What do I use to attach my new ramsinks to my vid card?

thermal epoxy

I guess I should have been a little more specific, my bad. What brand/kind should I use? I figured you all had the experience with different kinds.

thermal tape incase you have to remove em later

otherwise the arctic silver epoxy stuff should be fine

Well, Arctic Alumina epoxy should do the trick. Some ppl like to mix it so they can have a chance of taking them off for RMA when they fry their cards. But when i break my cards, i dont RMA them, so I just use straight epoxy.

If you use arctic silver, and you get it 1 mm off the edge of the ramchip, it fries everything. use alumina, which is not conductive

oh and btw, your card that I uber modded way past 9800xt spec only sold on ebay for $265 i feel jipped
