Hi,
struggling for some time where to place this question so here is as good as place as any...
To get to the point, I want to attach a metal (aluminum or copper) cooler to the chip but there are no brackets, no mounting points etc.
For this type of work earlier I used to use some termal paste adhesive that I got with some memory coolers but the stock is gone and in this "3rd world country" local stores do not have the paste (or donno how to call it).
I see only 2 solutions to my problem:
1. You guys tell me the proper English term for the paste (thermal glue or something) and point me to the online shop where I can order some (or I'll google the shop myself when I get the actual name of the product I'm looking for)
2. I heard that I can "make" the paste by mixing some thermal paste (normal thermal paste used for CPU's, for e.g. as5 http://www.arcticsilver.com/as5.htm ) and 2 component glue. I have not tried this (I heard it should work) so I would like to know if it actually work before I try (as I need to attach a new cooler to the gw cpu - and would not like for that cpu to overheat).
thanks in advance
