i need a idea to hold a waterblock that cools both cpus at once, i have made the waterblock but i need something to hold it down

never to late

i actually put everything on the bp6 this weekend, but that design of that guys was a pain to replicate and didnt work as well as he had hopes

my answer to this problem is pretty pisspoor, and i have yet to test it as my radiator seams to still have a leak, i will do a trip to the hardware shop today and hopefully will be finished this weekend

I did exactly what you are not supposed to do with Arctic Silver epoxy, I figured it was worth a try.....

in what meaning???

Arctic Silver is great stuff when used correctly! I suggest everyone cooling their processors with air uses it!

When I said I did exactly what you shouldn't do with Arctic Silver... I meant I used it to attach my watercoolers to the cpus...

I went a step further with ASE3...
I epoxied the northbridge on my vp6...then ripped it off months later by accident..
I think I posted on hardocp with pics..

Well, repost here damnit!

I feel for you man, but that is just too funny!!!

I wouldn't be embarrassed though, we've all done some questionable things to our computers!!

Holy.......
this is what arctic silver did?
or what the hell?
did the thermal paste make a bond?

So what is the conclusion here - Artic Silver Epoxy caused shorting around the CPU? Or, it caused mechanical stress leading to toasted CPU? Or what exactly?

arctic silver or the artic silver redford?
^real ^generic

Wait,................ epoxy. not heatsink compound or is that what epoxy is????
i thought epoxy was a sealant that dries up or ... now im confused

The conclusion is to not epoxy anything to the chipsets!

RR: When he tried to remove the water block, the chip came with it

That VP is a bit sad looking! Sorry sight to see! For what it is worth I used arctic siler epoxy in my watercooled and peltiered BP6....

When epoxy is cold it is reasonably brittle, I seperated the coolers, peltiers and cpus with a sharp knife! I still plan to transfer all the watercooling components to my VP6 but will probably not resort to peltiers again. Currently the BP6 is at a slow 525Mhz but it is relaible and reasonably quiet.......
