Does anyone know where to get thermal tape for the heat sink for the amd t-bird 900. I had put the original fan on(from the retail box), then switched to a Global win fop38. Holy Cow!!! that was loud! So off it came. The tape appears good for one time use only. I found some through computergate.com. It has a copper color as opposed to the bubble gum color of the other tape of both heatsinks.
The problem is my chip is now running at 140F with original fan and new thermal tape. Before I got 125F with original fan and tape. 115F with Global Win fan. Thats a gain of 15-25 degrees Farenheit. Can I get the same tape that came with both fans? Should I use grease which Amd doesn't recommend? What else is out there that works good for Amd? HELP
