Hello,
well my computer has been making a lot of noise[FAN RPM GO THROUGH THE ROOF trying to keep my graphics card cooled ] when doing intensive graphics work - like watching videos,loading heavy flash websites.
I opened my PC up and see that two of the clips[look like staples] that hold the heatsink down have come off , so my heat sink is not covering the graphics card .
-MAIN POINT-
How can i put the clips back securely so they hold the heatsink down . [tried naively putting them back but of course the heatsink won that battle
came right off]
can i use epoxy glue ,can i just dip the two ends of the clips in the expoxy and put em back and let dry ? will that work?
here's a pic of one of the clips
