The only thing I have found to work reliably is thermal adhesive. The tape etc. usually is not strong enough.

I used the tape on my 3870's and 4870's and it holds very well...

hmm, I just tried it on my card and it didn't work well at all. I also tried it on a 2900 Pro and they fell off. It must be me. I either am using lousy tape (from ebay and petra's iirc) or I did a poor job preping the area.

Warm the tape up before application.

Its probably available on ebay US. It holds very well, thermal transfer is very good and its quite easily removable with a little wiggling.

True but better method ^^ (coffeejunky's)

8800GT w/ VF900 w/ provided sinks (low-rise ones on the right seperate)

Also, to clarify, I was refering to the tape applied to old sinks and not the tape that comes on them new. Thanks for the tip Duckie, I will try that when I get a new card this year.
