Default 2600 XT memory chip heat sink tape/glue ideas needed

Ok so basically where I am at now is trying to find some way to cool the memory chips.

I've already modified a zalmann 80mm GPU cooler to fit, and it worked fine - other than the weird artifacts, super hot memory chip temps, and system freezing due to lack of memory chip cooling.

Here are all the heat sinks I have.



Is there any type of glue I can use? Maybe super glue? Double sided tape isn't working (should I try harder?

he said he was looking for a thermal tape, not heatsinks....

I think artic cooling makes a thermal adhesive, can't think of the name though.

Not sure about the site but you can get some thermal tape here (haven't ordered from there so take that with a grain of salt). As far as the super glue idea is concerned I guess it would all depend on how conductive the super glue you use is (if at all) and if it will interfere with AS5's ability to transfer the heat (my guess would be that it would do a pretty horrible job seeing as you'd probably end up with colored super glue depending on your Glue:AS5 ratio). On top of that you might have a hell of a time removing the heat sinks if you ever had to replace them (say it was a bad idea) or wanted to do any other types of cooling.
