Yukon Trooper Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 Hey guys its good to be back on the best forums in the world! Anyways, recently my card pooped on me when I was switching around PCI cards in my computer and I have to RMA my card. Only problem is I had the Zalman VF900-CU cooler on it and I had to take off the memory heatsinks to replace the cooler with the stock one. I am just wondering if anyone has or knows where to get the sticky pads or replacement heatsinks that keep these little suckers stuck to the memory chips. I guess I could remove the gunk thats left over on them now and use an adhesive thermal paste. Suggestions anyone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
THunDA Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 Chomerics Thermattach.. http://sidewindercomputers.com/therinmat.html Basically any Thermal Tape will do though, the stuff above is pretty expensive but its known to be very good.

RAINMAKA Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 The same things is going on with me, my new card will be here within a week (i hope) and Ill have to take my VF900CU off. Im hoping Radioshack or something local will have some thermal tape to put the ramsinks back on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yukon Trooper Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 Yah, I just remembered I had some BFG graphics card memory heatsinks that I was going to use for hot spots on my mainboard but never got around to it. They are long but I could cut them to size or just run one along like 3 or 4 of the memory chips. I think I will do this temporarily until I get some of those thermal pads that you linked Thunda, thnx a lot bro. Here's a link for the sinks I am referring to: http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku...%20Technologies Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also get this stuff since its cheaper.. http://www.crazypc.com/products/PQ5-5025.html Ive tried the good stuff and cheaper stuff, there's minimal difference.
