I just voltmodded my video card and i was wondering if it was ok to put hot glue on the solder joints to protect them. I was told i should use a 'Hot Melt' glue gun though. Would this damage the video card at all? or will it be ok. Google is just not helping me out so i'm hoping i can get some info from yall. Thx in advance.

EDIT: heat shrink wont work in this case. long story. lets just say im lucky my card still works. This was defenitly a learning experience haha.

sure...you can. that's what i do

is it true that i have to use a special 'hot melt' glue? supposedly its just hotter than normal. he said normal hot glue wont stick as well or something.

doesnt matter

hotglue is hotglue unless its collered

Normal hot glue will work just fine.

awsome, thx everyone Looks like i'm going to walmart tonight to get one haha

Dont forget to pick up some spare sticks, you'll find many misc. uses for hot glue after a while and you'll run out of sticks before you know it

but remember

just like super glue

HOT GLUE AND SKIN DONT MIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

haha, thx for the tips guys...

Hot glue on the skin does not hart. I would get some heat shrink to put over it too, makes it look more professional.

yes it does...why wouldnt it...its not like its really hot or anything...lol...yea that stuff is strong...a friend of mine made his own HDD cooler with a 120 mm fan, hot glue, and his drive case

Then you guys have never used a high-temp gun.

This actually isn't true... there are different kinds for different uses...
high heat and low heat.....

most people use the universal (works either way) but there are different types
depends on the hot glue gun you have

yea, i went w/ the high temp cuz i'm assuming the glue melts at higher temps. i dont want the card to heat up too much, melt the glue, and have it run lol. Even when the card is running full speed, and its running pretty hot, the glue isnt even tacky. So, its good.
