In my laptop, these mini heat sinks are attached to my CPU. In the past couple of weeks they started coming loose after the machine has been on for a while. I want to re-set them, but I don't know what that adhesive is called. Any ideas?

just use nutella

Thermal Adhesive

I bet they'd be good for a raspberry pi.

>Thermal Adhesive
is that the same as like arctic silver 5 or something? these stuff is actually sticky and hold the heat sinks on by itself

I can guarantee those were added by the previous owner and are doing absolutely nothing helpful at all.

It's a thermal adhesive, isn't that pretty self explanatory? It's adhesive with good thermal conductivity.

Also this.

Thermal adhesive pads is what you want user.

Who made this shitshow?

Interesting. Have they actually lowered your temps?

And why not put them inside the fan assembly if there's enough space? Im thinking of doing something similar with my memepad.
