[ruff97]

do any one know where i can get some 3M 8815 Thermal Tape or something like it for some RAMsinks

You just looking for a way to attach them?
If so Arctic alumina, or normal Arctic silver w/ a tiny bit of superglue on the corners works.

From what ive seen that kind of stuff is sold in bulk, and if its sold in a small quantity you get totally raped on the price.

i know about Arctic Silver Adhesive but what about if i want to take it off. then is why i want hhermal tape

Then aplly 4 small dots in the corners from the ram with Artic silver adhesive and fill the rest up with normal artic silver .

The cheapest solution for thermal tape i noticed was these:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835119016

They come with 1 long piece which divides into 2 pieces. You can probably recycle the alu. :P


But i really wouldnt recomend recycling the sinks unless you cleaned them very well. And it is more of a PITA. Enzo's are fairly cheap too.

I have used Sekisui 5760 for years and it works great. I tried the adhesive route mixing arctic silver with adhesive 50/50 and I will never do that again. I ripped off a couple of the bga chips taking off the ramsinks to RMA the card when it died. It almost cost me a video card but fortunately the RMA was approved. It can be found cheap on ebay - http://cgi.ebay.com/12-Sekisui-5760-THERMAL-TAPE-1-Wide-Double-Sided_W0QQitemZ290178953232QQihZ019QQcategoryZ4632 2QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
