jdm_freek Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 i came across an aftermarket cooler for one of my gtx 470 and i have heard that the supplied thermal adhesive for the ram heat-sinks suck can someone suggest a better product Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renigade Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 Arctic Silver when in doubt! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpikeSoprano Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 I would not use any adhesive, heard too many horror stories of people using it and never being able to remove it, I would use a brand name thermal compound like the one mentioned above.

Renigade Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 if they did not come with an adhesive i would look here http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l3/g40/c16/s226/list/p1/Air_Cooling-Chipset_HeatsinksCoolers-Misc_Heatsinks-Page1.html this what your looking at? and i would check to see if the ones you have do not have a paper film on the back of them already and adhesive underneath...

SpikeSoprano Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 i have heat sinks that need to be glued on Well do your research on which one you get as there have been posts on here where it has ruined videocards, I think there are some good thermal tapes that work quite well.

d6bmg Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 (edited) Any good one will do the job for you. In my opinion, you should use the same TIM that you use with CPU. There is no need to buy anything special. Edited November 22, 2012 by d6bmg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
