Suitable replacement for Arctic Alumina for ti4400 ramsinks? Welp got these today http://2cooltek.safeshopper.com/51/342.htm?814 ... They came with Arctic Alumina Thermal Adhesive.. looked up the instructions on how to properly use it on the arctic silver web site. I found out that it is a permament adhesive. If I sell the card in the future or by any chance have to RMA it.. I don't want these sinks to be permanently stuck to it.. hehe.. Are there any suitable replacements that I can use for the ramsinks? Thanks.

It will stick to both but will be "soft" so you can remove it. Im not sure if you would be able to tell that heatsinks had been glued on or not. The only other alternative is "frag tape" like double sided tape but with slightly better thermal propertys. If you think your definately going to want to remove the heatsinks then the tape is your best bet...but it will performe worse than the adhesive. Or you can put arctic silver on the chips and a bit of superglue (Jell type is best) at the corners to hold them in place.

easy! AS2 over memory chip, clean off two little dots in corners, put dots of superglue on, and stick heatsinks on! cracks off really easy! the memory chips probably have 2 or 4 round indents, put the glue in these so that it is in as close contact as possible for heat transfer with the sink

Will my Arctic Silver III be easy to clean off.. I got it all over my CPU (not the core part of course) and could not for the life of me get it off with 91% isopropyl alcohol.. it has some tape on it since someone fully unclocked it and I don't want to mess with it if it means chancing screwing up the unclocking.. =/ Someone else recommended some dish soap as well.. would I just use a qtip to dab the soap on and use a qtip with alcohol to clean the soap off? Also, when using superglue will I need to stick the card in a freezer so that I can crack the heatsink off easier? Thanks again.

Try heat. I've never done it but i've heard a hair dryer could liquify it enough to remove it.

Here is the official Arctic Silver Solution Another solution I have used os Goof Off which is sold in paint stores to remove glue residue without damaging paint. If you are going to use soap; try using automotive hand cleaner. It's the best I've used yet. It's called ProLine, you can pick it up a Pep Boys for about $1
