Should I remove ram heatsinks' TIMs before applying ceramique?


Recommended Posts

Only super glue was mentioned. :P

I actually specifically pointed out that superglue is a cyanoacrylate-based adhesive... which is what krazy glue is... you have Scotch tape, we have Sellotape, you say tomato, i say um... gimme a beer or something lol

Yes, but not a lot. You do not want to inhibit the AS5 or w/e you are using. Just a tiny bit on the corners is fine.

Truer words can not be spoken, I think i may have had a little bit much on the old 7900gt:

 

 

Don't let that worry you however, as with a small amt you get a staisfying pop of glue breaking loose rather than a ram chip hehe. Seriously, this was MY fault, not using glue (hell adhesive would have likely caused me MORE damage by better sticking to the other ram chips)

 

So, anyone want a 224mb 7900gt? (jk I dont have it anymore)

lol, ok. Well, I guess some crazy glue and AS5 will be going on my ram sinks if xoxide ever sends me the correct HSI heatsink...

 

Should I remove the current thermal adhesive on the ramsink?

If it's already got the adhesive on it, I'd just use that. Unless someone specifically knows how well it will perform compared to AS5...
