Water Block on a Radeon

Jtw0128 · 03-18-2001, 11:13 AM

Ok, I'm trying to get a water block and a pelt onto my Radeon. Since the card has no mounting holes or anything, without thinking, I just superglued the block and pelt on and as soon as i turned on the pelt, the block broke right off from the heat. What is the best way to mount the waterblock on the card? Arctic Silver Epoxy?

hehehe.. That's hilarious..

Yeah, I'd try arctic silver epoxy, put it on THIN, and DON'T get ANY of it on any part of the card that might conduct electricity.. They say it's non conductive, but I call BS..

You can use arctic silver epoxy, but you can also rig something up w/ those two holes around the socket. I don't have a radeon though so i dunno if it has those holes or not.
