Thermal Epoxy?

[FarENheiT]

Hey whats up? I've been thinking I want to put a blorb on my Radeon. Right now, the HSF is bonded on there with thermal epoxy. There are no holes to screw a new hsf into the PCB or put pins in. So it looks like thermal epoxy is my only hope. Anyone know where I can get some of this? I've looked at the regular cooling sites I go to and none of them have thermal epoxy. I called radio shack and they're like, "Epoxy, you mean thermal grease?" "No, I mean Thermal Epoxy." "Ohhh, I dont think we have that!" I dont know if I want to mess with aluminum or silver epoxy, I dont want to short anything out...I tend to get messy with applying grease.

Also does anyone know how to apply thermal epoxy? Is it like thermal grease where you have to spread it on thin with a razor blade? Or do you just put a blob in the middle of the chip and mash the HSF on? Thats how it seems ATI did it with their current HSF.

Thinkin' about ram sinks too...but damn they're expensive!

I recently got some thermal epoxy from 2cooltek.com . I checked their site and it doesn't look they are offering it now.

You might try this link to millisec.com:

High performance thermal tape
Good Luck!

I think you can get some from a local car repair store.

You can order the same Thermal epoxy that 2colltek used to carry @ www.coolcpu.com they have it under the pastes/goo/glop or whatever they call it section.
