[SOLVED] mix Thermo Paste with Epoxy?

[dwcdv]

Hello,
On one side I can not fix the Mounting Clip of the Heatsink anymore because the loop has been broken out. I try to avoid to remove the whole motherboard to insert a new one from the bottom . I asked 2 friend for advice: one said, just glue it on, mix slow cure Epoxy with Thermal Paste, the other one said: Impossible, you can not do that because Thermo Paste is Silicon Oil and can not mix with Epoxy.

I would like advice from people here because there are many experts - on the other hand I heard there is a special Thermo Paste for gluing on the Heatsink.

Thank you.

Dorian

That sounds like a bad idea.
You can get thermal adhesive or thermal tape. Note a good thermal adhesive(even the tape) is pretty much permanent.

What heatsink are you needing to attach?

Attach to the Chipset
Are those Thermal Tapes as strong as a paste?

Some of the 3M Tape is strong, but I have bought some cheap off brand stuff that was very weak.

If you get thermal adhesive make sure to get one that is thermally conductive and electrically insulating.
