Question Chipset Cooling

How would I cool a chipset that doesnt have any mounting holes on it. What should I do to cool it down?

Im trying to cool the chipset on my Epox 8KDA3+. The heatsink gets really, really hot.

Tape a small fan on top or buy a better heatsink and epoxy it on there.....either that or get really creative with a hold-down mechanism.

Use something like Artic Silver Adhesive, or buy the Zalman NB heatsink, it comes with a 2 component thermal adhesive, which can be bought seperately

Goodluck!

or you could make your own thermal adhesive with epoxy and some good thermal paste. I can remember what the mix is, but obviously you wanna go with more thermal paste and just a little epoxy.

Question

How much weight do you guys think that the Arctic Silver Adhesive can support without the risk of any damage?
