 Sticky and sets quicklyOct 03, 2007
By Warren Marts
This stuff and the similar SIlver thermal epoxy is a permanent adhesive - not at all what you should use on a computer CPU. See the Arctic Silver 5 or Ceramique for standard CPU applications
It's great for attaching heat sinks permanently to a northbridge chip or graphics card RAM- this is what I've used it for.
You mix equal quantities of the two tubes together and you have only two to five minutes before it sets, so have everything cleaned and ready before mixing.

 Perfect aftermarket heatsink adhesive!Dec 13, 2008
By Jaqie Fox
If you need to attatch or re-attatch a heatsink or heatsink-fan *PERMANENTLY* to a chip (motherboard chipset, old video card GPU, ram chips, et cetra) this is the stuff to use. I used it to attatch a HR-05-SLI (google it) to an nforce4 ultra chipset on a mobo. After 20 minutes, it had set enough for me to pick the entire motherboard up by the heatsink... not a good idea, but I was curious. And the heat transfer through this epoxy (it IS epoxy) is incredibly good, too!
There is enough in the two tubes (its binary, two tubes to mix to activate the curing process) to attatch about five mobo chipset size chips to heatsinks depending on how much you use. Quite a good deal when you consider this is the best thermally conductive epoxy on the market!

 Not for low temperature useMar 28, 2011
By A. Biermans
The specs state this adhesive works down to -40C. I followed the instructions to the letter to bond a thermo electric cooler to a copper heatsink. The heatsink is kept at 0C and the cold side of the TEC at roughly -20C. Under these conditions the bonding strength is so weak that I had no trouble removing the TEC from the heatsink. While this stuff might work fine at higher temperatures it does not perform well at all at low temperatures. And I as only halfway down to the lowest temperature this stuff is advertised to work at. I realize that the bonding strength is slightly less below 0 C but this just doesn't work at all.

cleanliness next to godlinessDec 16, 2011
By M. Chatterton
Purchased this adhesive for re-affixing heat sinks in used server machines. Got an incredible deal on them because some of the heat-sink clips broke while the original owners were performing maintenance.
I purchased 92% alcohol and cotton pads from the drug store and clean up the old crusted stuff that was on the chip and heat-sink. Mixing the two components was straightforward. They seem to thicken up a bit after mixing and a tiny dollop is all you need for complete coverage. After a few minutes it seemed to completely bond to the aluminum heat-sink, but I didn't really feel inclined to aggravate the process. I let the servers sit overnight, but had it not been the end of the day I would have just began burn-in testing immediately.

"Permanent" Thermal AdhesiveDec 14, 2011
By Mike
Arctic Alumina Thermal Adhesive (Two Tub Set) is a compound that once mixed together it will create a permanent bond between microchip and heat sync.
Best when used on Video RAM and a Heat Sync.
Not for use on a Processor - Fan's do burnout and you want to be able to separate the processor from the Heat Sync/Fan assembly, remember it is permanent!
This product is superior to all other permanent thermal adhesives!!
