You want something like "Arctic Alumina" never used myself but people say good things about it

A little over what I can find zallman glue for on the local shops.
Just thought that china would produce some more nasty stuff, that are extremely durable.

Well, there is, but who knows if it's any good. It's called "FD604" on eBay and elsewhere. I'd rather use a decent thermal paste and superglue.

The Stars-922 thermal plaster works well, nasty stuff tho.

These looks like the same stuff, though I searched for both types...

They are cheap... Just wonder if they are really nasty. Nasty as in "extreme binding and for love of all don't get on you'r hand's"
I want to use it for adding some chipset heatsinks (from dead mobo's) to some ram chips on various graphic cards and stuff like that.

That is exactly what I used it for and it worked well, not as good as the more expensive stuff but better than I expected. It smells TERRIBLE. I think it takes awhile to cure so you have plenty of time to get it off your hands before it turns into a problem.

That's the stuff I wan't. Can't argue on the price eighter. And the plus-side, I get to "fuck" mother nature on that cheap shipping from China.
How much will my shipment pollute I just ask 🤣 🤣 🤣 If you need to do it, do it right.... 😉
Naaa... For real, how is this even possible to do? Manufacturing and shipping at these prices?

Bought this one:

And 20 small 8x8mm alu-heatsinks if I should run low on the Chipset heatsinks that I have gathered.

FWIW, this is good stuff. I ordered some to stick a heatsink on the xbox 360 southbridge, and I've ended up using it for a ton of other stuff. Never knew I needed it until I got some 😀

Haha, before I opened this thread I was thinking of the "Stars" stuff. I bought some myself. Apparently it's not super super strong, so with a butter knife you can pop off anything attached with it.

I love the Arctic stuff but hate the cost and semi-permanence. The trick with the Stars stuff is to do a thick glob instead of an even spread from what I understand, with a thin layer it lacks a good bond and falls off.

I just super-glue that kind of smallish heatsink stuff.

Super-glue (0.11 W/mK) isn't as good a thermal conductor as true grease, but is an order of magnitude better than nothing (air = 0.030 W/mK), and in practice works fairly well.

I may have been out of the loop too long, but why would anyone want thermal glue as opposed to regular thermal grease?

To attach heatsinks to GPUs/chipsets or anything that does not provide a way to attach one, like holes.

Aaahhh. Clever. Thanks! 😀

if all else fails just use large rupper bands around the item 🤣

There's another thread about this topic that's a day older so let's discuss it there. Thanks.
