do u guys think one of these coolers epoxied to the gpu will help me get past the seemingly 325 mhz core barrier? will the weight potentially damage or rip off the gpu over time?:confused:
Should work fine. A 60MM 1U cooler shouldn't be all that heavy :)

Which one are you referring to, the AKASA AK-350 or the AKASA Icicle 311 1U?

i have never used epoxy before but i assume its the same way u apply AS3 to a cpu or gpu right? a thin layer even spread across the core? how long doe it take for this stuff to dry?:confused:
You apply it in the same way, I have no idea how long it takes to dry but once its on its a bugger to get it off! I heard that to egt it off follow this:
Stick whatever you need to get the heatsink/fan off in the freezer (in an anti-static bag) and wait bout 15 mins then pry it off with screwdriver! That'll give you an idea of how strong it is!

Arctic Alumina Thermal Adhesive(AATA from now on) doesn't apply like regular Arctic Silver. just follow the instructions on the arcticsilver website.

also, make sure you get it on right the first time. it's very hard to remove a heatsink after it's been attached using this method.
you may want to look into drilling holes in the 1U heatsink and using the mounting holes around the GPU.
Yea...I would drill the hsf and use spring bolts to hold it down. That way you can use AS3 which will yield better results than the adhesive.
BTW, this (Yea...I would drill the hsf and use spring bolts to hold it down. That way you can use AS3 which will yield better results than the adhesive.) 1u hsf is very nice and since it is all copper will offer good cooling. Plus its only 16 bucks. But be careful,when drilling. You get 1 try.
