I ordered a bunch of heatsinks from chinks and after a month of wait, they finally arrived.
But they chinked me over by not supplying the self-adhesive thermal pad with them so now I have no fucking way to mount them!
WTF do I use to mount these? Would a thin double-stick tape work???
FUCK!

Just use something that's sticky.
Wouldn't you want the adhesive to be head conductant? So sort of like a thermal paste glue or something?
Doesn't sound like double stick tape would work.
I have a roll of double-stick tape. It's thin but I have no idea if it will withstand heat and whether it will actually transfer heat to the sinks or will it act as an insulator.
Anyone have some ideas what to do???
I do have some JB Weld in the car somewhere... I wonder if that's an overkill tho.
>head conductant
*heat conductant
try thermal paste
what are those for? orange pis?
>try thermal paste
I have some Arctic Silver 5. But that shit won't hold... it's not that adhesive type of paste.
>Wouldn't you want the adhesive to be head conductant? So sort of like a thermal paste glue or something?
Exactly. I don't know if it would actually conduct heat and actually remain stuck in a vertical position after temps go over 50C.
here's a pic from their ebay page. it clearly shows adhesive and even their descriptions have it in writing. but they fucked me by sending me plain copper ones with no thermal pad of any kind. Just bare copper. fuckers.
>what are those for? orange pis?
yes. orange pi and raspi. I can't run them inside of a case without heatsinks (they throttle/shut down after 10+ minutes if having a load on them).
>1. drill holes in double stick tape
>2. apply to one side
>3. put a very small amount of thermal paste in each hole
>4. ???
>5. Profit
Complain, demand partial refund, use money to buy $1 tube of thermal epoxy.
If it's going to be laying flat, you can put thermal paste on and just hold it in place on the outside with tape.
I don't know about the orange, but raspi 3 will only throttle itself around 80C. It will not shutdown.
oh cool, post results if manage to make them stick to the cpu
I have to mound it on its side. tape won't hold for sure.
I'm thinking about mixing up some 5min epoxy and putting some metal shavings into it... hmmmm
they charged me
arctic silver + superglue = mite b cool
Roll of double stick that I have is pretty narrow. Looks like it would be very messy indeed.
You should scrap your plans and do this:
>arctic silver + superglue = mite b cool
Hmm... interesting. Or maybe AS5 + 5min epoxy? I wonder if AS5 will completely destroy the properties of the glue tho...
>cool
I like you.

This is exactly what this stuff was designed for.
Those thermal pads are shit m8. I had to remove one in a device I had and just use thermal epoxy to get the heatsink conducting properly. Maybe they make good ones, but I had a chink one that sucked.
?
Use a mixture of super glue and overpriced gayman PC grease.
I know... but many are made by 3M and I hear those are good.
good idea!
I'm also thinking about combining baking soda + superglue and using that mixture.
why? because baking soda is apparently being used in commercial heat sink compounds and pastes and it acts as a thermal conductor. anyone know more??
See
1. I don't have the adhesive version on hand which means I'll have to wait another week to mount them
2. >$10 for that shit is expensive.
I need something that I can use tonight/tomorrow.
>I need something that I can use tonight/tomorrow.
then maybe you should hae thought about that before ordering your chink garbage
>then maybe you should hae thought about that before ordering your chink garbage
have you read this thread baka? their pics + description said it comes with adhesive pads.
>trusting chinks
with the chinese jew, you always lose
mix in some super glue or ultra gel with thermal paste
they make thermal epoxy.
Make sure you want the heatsink exactly where it is forever if you choose to use this shit.
It comes in two parts, mix it together and apply it.
i had to hack together a heatsink for my southbridge when it got in the way of a gpu
dont listen to this faggot.
superglue is the answer but just put the smallest dot in each corner of the chip and go really light on thermal paste in the centre so they dont mix. Its still good after a decade.
they look like shit, just what is heatsink that small going to do ? barely an extra surface area either.
>superglue is the answer but just put the smallest dot in each corner of the chip and go really light on thermal paste in the centre so they dont mix. Its still good after a decade.
sound like a reasonable solution
most thermal paste will eventually dry out and harden anyway, using superglue is just useful for keeping it on there until that happens
This. Use cum.
Well, first you're going to want to put your heatsink at ease. I recommend a fancy dinner and a few glasses of wine, followed by a massage.
None of the pads they would have sold you are anything more than standard thin double-sided tape, and they included types usually have low holding power and, believe it or not, don't stick well when they get hot.
Use any thin VHB tape, or if you really care about a few degrees C, some thermal epoxy (Artic sells several kinds). It'll be fine.
>I do have some JB Weld in the car somewhere... I wonder if that's an overkill tho.
JB weld will stick better than tape, but not especially well. It's actually one of the worst epoxies I've ever used adhesion-wise.
It also falls apart at high temp.
>Hmm... interesting. Or maybe AS5 + 5min epoxy? I wonder if AS5 will completely destroy the properties of the glue tho...
It will. And normal epoxy softens and melts under 100C.
could you suck Linus' cock anymore?
Here's what I did for my project.
>use thermal paste to press heatsink onto the ic
>apply epoxy to 2 sides to hold it in place when in use
