Hello.
 
While I was randomly looking around, I saw an old heatsink kit I have.
It has a bunch of aluminum heatsinks, all different sizes, and some of them look like they would fit perfect on the backside of my Titan's extra memory, that is heating up so much it burns my fingers.
 
So, I was wondering what kind of sticky double sided tape, or glue(?) I might be able to use on it? (I know it came with this VERY thin double sided film tape, but I dont have any more, I used them all up long long time ago), that will stick very well, but will come off if the card boinks out on me, to rma again?
 
So, what would you reccomend for setting a heatsink on the memory modules?
 
Thanks.

    This is what you need: https://www.fujipoly.com/usa/products/sarcon-thermal-management-components/thermal-gap-filler-products/gap-filler-pads-low-compression-force/pg25a.html  Its a adhesive TIM. You might have to order it straight from Fujipoly though cause I cant find a place to get it to link for ya. They are very helpful there though so it shouldn't be a problem.

    They sell double sided thin see through Scotch tape at any drug store, k-mart, it should work fine.

    Ah, that is like the stuff I remember the kit coming with, although it was kind of yellowish.
    Do you think that the scotch tape would stick well, and the heatsinks would not come off if I moved the computer back down on the ground?
    Also, would it be very heat conductive as well?
     
    Thanks.
