Just got a used VGA cooler from a forumer today. Just wonder does anybody know where can i buy the adhesive for the VGA ramsink? Thank for helping in advance.

Try Robyncom or OP in LYP, dont go to those big big one like Sri Computer and All IT as they seldom carry this kind of stuff. But personaly i use AS5 and tiny bit of super glue at the corner. And my VGA ram never go above 40C even when gaming.

robyncom will probably give small-small stuffs for free if you buy stuffs from them

Ramsink adhesive ==> careful when you using it. it cannot be removed after you stick it to.

double sided tape ==> never try to use this. double side tape is non thermal conductive at all.

AS5 and tiny bit of super glue at the cornor ==> i agree this solution too! great idea!

Sri Comp really s*ck. please never go to there! you will regret!
you can have Actic silver 5 at Rubycon at RM25.
or you can try lowyat forumer here, only RM20+.

When i try to stick those Heavy Vantec Copper BGA Ramsink on my 6800GS, it keeps falling off 1 by 1 ( Heat it up with hair dryer before sticking it on the ram chip though ). Lucky i got a Vantec Fan Card ( Disconnected just in case it happened ) below my card, otherwise it will go straight to my Audigy2 ZS and short cicuit and if u are lucky may be only the A2 will be fry. So my advice to not to use thermal tape, unless u are very very sure that it will stick well.

theres 3M thermal tape rite? doublesided
im not sure how it is sold [in what form], but i often heard bout it

Got, can buy from myPC

What is the measurement?price?

Double sided tape actually is a good alternative, but if you have the time and cash, you might prefer the thermal tape.

I bought a few ramsinks from uglyvamp's BBS before, and he supplied me with a few pieces of thermal tape. This tape has a black, rubbery appearance, which looks different from the ones that I usually come across.

How much does MyPC sell their thermal tape?

I do have the one like u mentioned from Uglyvamp as well. It do stick well compare to one come with Zalman or Vantec ramsink, but the problem is its a lot thicker than those i mention above. So i decide to use AS5+Superglue at the end.

yup.. robyncom have it.. try search around

Thick ones don't do anything IMO. Tapes do not conduct heat well in the first place, so if it is thicker - it is even worse. Heat trapped on the DDR chips itself.

If you are going with tape, get the thinnest one possible. 3M ones are quite good. Or you can try Shinetsu Thermal pads (http://sidewindercomputers.com/akshintherin.html).

But I would prefer bonding the heatsinks permanently to the chips itself with Artic Silver or Artic Alumina Adhesive. Max performance! lol

Its 1" x 1"; RM1 each

The one i have now also got 3M logo on it, its just that its a lot thicker and black in color. Perhaps imitation? Not sure though...

There are different types. The ones I had before was thin...nearly see thru. 3M makes so many products I don't think they can even keep track themselves. lol

Thanks for the info guys! Artic silver 5, is it the heat compound for CPU? i think i still have it with me. Thinking of making it permanent, so how are we going to install the ramsinks using AS5 and superglue? Any precaution? Thanks for the advices in advance : )

what a great solution i got here.now my ramsink stick nicely

use glue on the corners of the sinks and AS5 in the middle

So what method u used? Super glue or thermal tape? Just make sure only apply a tin layer of AS5 at the middle of the ram chip. Otherwise u are in danger of shorting out your GC. Good luck...

use a nice gam gajah at da cornor ramsink..b4 this use that as5 it will slide down even i left it dry n stick it.after few minute play game ramsink off .now i follow da step it fit nicely even after hour playing game.great2 solution
