Attaching free standing heat sinks
« on: October 10, 2007, 08:12:04 PM »
Hi,

I have a BVision card on the way and have read many dark tales of how hot these beasties get. Naturally I want to attach some heatsinks, the question is how?

Do you get something like double-sided heat sink tape? And if so, what is it called and where can I get it?

Any other suggestions? I have noticed that an old nVidia card I have has a free standing heat sink that seems to be stuck on some how.

Sorry if this is a noob question, I am one after all!  :-D

Hi,

Thanks to everyone for the (as usual) brilliant info.
I think I am going to go with the GFX card heat sink coolers as a first attempt and see how that goes. Less permanent, but safer for the moment!

Thanks
