Ramsinks - how to stick on?

silverside

i've got a 9800pro and a new fan for it. The fan comes with some ramsinks.

What is the best thing to use to glue them on? The package comes with some standard thermal paste but is that sticky enough to hold them on?

Should I use superglue mixed with the thermal paste? Should I get some thermal tape? Or should I bother at all? I dont really plan on overclocking it.

thanks

if you want to stick them on semi permenantly, put a dab of superglue in each corner of the ramsink and then put some artic silver or whatever you use in the middle.

Get some thermal cement and thermal paste.
Mix a bit of each together and apply to the chips.
If done right it'll hold the chips on eithout require a vice and extreme physical effort to remove in the future.
If you don't plan removing them just use pure thermal cement.
Arctic Silver is highly reccommended.
