I've just recently purchased a second hand geforce 3 for a friend, but unfortunately on arrival I discovered that one of the two heatsinks has actually fallen off the card. It used to be held on by some sort of yellowish glue which is still evident on the heatsink and a little bit on the memory modules.
Fortunately, I still have a full tube of Arctic Silver 5 which I have from when I built my computer. I looked around on the net and I found discussions and information regarding CPU and GPU applications but nothing really about the ram modules on a video card.
Is it still safe to use on the memory modules or should I be using something else? I guess I have to remove all the original glue, any recommendations on how?
Thanks,
Patrick
