well sorry to be rude but i just wanted to know is it safe to ut some acrylic glue stuff on the Via chip on your board. because i wanted to put a blue orb on it.

Yes

If you need to take it off later, it may be a pain. Make sure the contact surfaces are clean (and I mean CLEAN) before you permanently attach the fan.

If you need to get it off later it's going to be hard.
i suggest leaving one corner open (no adhesive) so you can slide a blade / screwdriver under it an twist, if needed.

BTW, I would use arctic silver epoxy, not standard glue.

putting it on?

are they capacitors in the way? anything else that may get in the way?

if not then its just like putting a heatsink on anything else. but with arcitic epoxy youve only got about a minute after you mix the 2 parts to put and position the heatsink.

you could just mix the 2 parts on the chip to save time.

Sher, that was VERY ungrateful of you. Funk takes the time to fully explain how to do it and that's how you respond? I'll surely not answer any question you post; for fear of being rebuked for giving you an answer!

Its nice to see your so grateful for the advice people give you. People like you piss me off.

My feelings aren't hurt.
You wanted and answer and I gave you one.
I also gave you a way of getting it back off if you needed to.

I know your smart Sher, but yeah that was a little ungrateful seeing as though you posted twice about it.

It's OK though. Ask another question like that and you will simply get a yes or a no.

Yes it can be done, but I wouldn't use "acrylic glue stuff"
And using a thin flathead screwdriver is one of the BEST ways of getting a fan off of a chip when it is mounted with epoxy (be it a Geforece or a Northbridge). That or a sturdy Razor Knife.

JDBlitz gave me a god strategy, use the plastic ties to hold it down cuz the holes for a srew dont match teh borb on the kt7a, so put the zip tie in and cut the extra off, tada!

And yes, if u say glue we think u me glue, so say thermal paste

O.k already people, let's not start a quote "war" unquote over this. But that's what I would say if I hadn't been so utterly offended by your lack of sensitivity you ungrateful ****! Man you come here to ask questions and then when you get an answer you act all snobby, like you knew what you were going to do in the first place! If you don't need help, don't ****ing post on this board. If you do, be polite about it and try to show some manner, I'm sure your parents raised you better then you act.
