Hey all!
I have a Gigabyte GTX 1080 Windforce OC and the plastic stand offs that connext the shroud to the heatsink have deterioated off (dam cheap plastic).
I was just going to puncture a little hole underneath where the screw originally goes on the standoff and put a staple from that hole into the hole on the heatsink fin originally meant for the screw to hold it in place or some kind other metal wire.
Are office staple safe? I did some quick research and the heat is fine for it. You can also shape them which is nice. The other option was super glue but that makes it hard in the future for disassembly.
Would love any feedback. Thank you!
