I'm helping someone transfer their VGA Zalman fan on a dead video card to a new one, but are the Heatsinks re-usable? Especially since the thermal tape probably wouldn't stick anymore if removable at all.

Or should this person just throw in cash for new ones?

remove and get new thermal tape. Simple solution :P

Question is just where to get new ones.

D;

Ok thanks, well now... does anyone know where to get thermal tape XD?

I know I've got spare somewhere... my V7F700-CU came with some extra tape, but not enough to cover 8 ramsinks....

try some glue :P (Pls don't, I'm joking)

you could use a thermal adhesive like this

also, a common (and cheaper) method people use is to put thermal compound in the center and put dabs of super glue in the corners. I have never tried it myself but I have read that it works quite well.

cheers

I'd recommend the arctic silver thermal adhesive over the superglue thing. Superglue seems like a pretty messy thing to work with.....

Yeah that's what I was thinking, thanks guys!

np (although KingCody is the one with the adhesive thermal paset solution )
