Nice work with the RAM and the CPU block bracket, they look much better.

that is some absolutely beautiful carbon fiber.

I couldn't see a wrinkle anywhere on the carbon.

OMG those sticks of ram and that cpu bracket look super sexy. I'm loving this mod. +Rep for the attention to detail.

So i noticed the double sided tape.

I want to introduce to you my close personal friend.

3M VHB.

Here is my precious roll of the industrial grade stuff SKU:808

No bull shat this stuff is simply amazing. It's holding my cpu fan onto my heatsink by only contacting two sides. the bond now (5 days later) is strong enough to hold the heatsink itself (over a pound) by just holding the fan.


If you need it to stick and never come apart again. use that stuff. I've repaired Cars with it.

Thanks you guys.

Here is the double sided tape I'm using.

It has a pull strength of 2 pounds. I think that is per square inch.

They use a version of the 3M VHB Tape to hold glass panels to Aluminum Frames In Sky Scrapers! Odds are it's also holding the plastic (rubber feeling) molding on your car too!

It's Great stuff If you can get your hands on some!

But Render,
I used the same stuff you've got on parts in my R2 Mod... He's still running and the haven't fallen off (it's been like 2+ years...lots of trips and plenty of vibration) also using it to hold the plex in Pack n Play! It will do you well and it's easier to get a hold of the VHB.

yea that stuff is great the red stuff is the "civi" stuff. You can order rolls direct from 3m. but there huge and set you back a couple bills for sure.

You know that stuff is thermally conductive?
