I have a Radeon 9700pro 128mb built by ATI.
I want to put a larger sink and fan on the card. Should I attch it with screws or could artic silver thermal epoxy work for this application?
Its not a very larg heavy fan and sinkits about the size and weight of a stock amdxp fan and sink.
 
yikes man...get one of those vga silencer things...I would assume the epoxy wouldn't be able to support the weight of a cpu hsf...
