I finally got an old CPU sink cut... Now, I needed a way to apply it to my chips. My friend using gasket maker, specifically, Permatex Red High Temp RTV Silicone. I want to know if this can actually work, and how the heck to I keep my heatsinks on?
I didn't try it on my card that's in now, instead, I tried it on my old MX420 card. I ripped apart, yet another, 486 system and pulled out the heatsink. I stuck it on and, about 10 minutes later, it held together pretty good. But it came off when I pulled it off, haha. The tube says to let it sit for 24 hrs (!!!), but I got impatient. So, when it came off, the chips were the same. No eating, no discoloration, NOTHING!! So, I wondering if you guys think its weird, or if I shuold go ahead and stick it on my card running now.
