    The best adhesive on hot heatsinks?

    Dear forum members,

    In laptops, sometimes we need to glue something such as an insulator sheet on CPU heatsink. Or sometimes we need to glue a rubber heatsink on PCH.
    As these heatsinks may reach 50'C to 90'C, it is possible that the adhesive get loose so that the heatsink moves on PCH.
    Silicon thermal paste is loose too. So it is not suitable for gluing heatsink on PCH. and there is no screw to fix the heatsink on PCH.
    what kind of adhesive suites this job that transfers heat properly and does not get loose under 100'C and less?

    thanks

        Thanks for the replies, petehall347 and SMDFlea. I will go to a local electronics shop tomorrow to see which one of these adhesives are available here.

          Iran still has local parts shops?

          most in western europe have gone out of business - i think the u.s. is the same.
          there are a few in Russia, but that's a huge country so a few shops is still minimal.

            Metod for removing glued heatsink from fragile component
            by harp
            I have peltir element glued to heatsink with something thick and sticky like putty... it cant be separate with force or heat without risk of breaking ceramic or damaged semiconductor layers due to force (eg if try twisted, pulled, lifted)... method that I am using is a single thread for needle (thin and firm thread of pure polyester that cant break with bare hands without glowes), and using it like a saw between heatsink and peltir. I holding a heatsink with knee against table. It slowly cut throug putty and release glued parts. It is slow proces, but preserve undamaged component and heatsink....

            iMac Display Replacement Adhesive
            by Katz993
            TL;DR: Looking for as-close-to-genuine as possible iMac Thin Panel (2012-2019) Adhesive.

            Long Rant: I run a tech shop that has a specialty in Macs. We've been doing upgrades and repairs on the thin panel iMacs as long as they've been out, and I've always had the issue of being unable to get something close to the OEM Adhesive for the Display Assembly, i.e. a 'two-part' adhesive, extremely thin but durable and can be cut easily with a thin wheel cutter. My replacement adhesive has always been essentially standard thin adhesive. For a long time, the biggest annoyance with this was having...

            Seeking Advice on Enhancing Heatsink for Main Processor on SAMSUNG TV Motherboard
            by Ven
            Hello everyone,

            I'm looking to upgrade the heatsink on the main processor of my TV's motherboard for better cooling performance.

            The current heatsink is a square-shaped one (2.8cm x 2.8cn) with a basic design, and I believe a more efficient heatsink could help with thermal management and potentially extend the life of the TV.

            I'd appreciate any advice on the best type of heatsink to use, specific product recommendations, and tips for installation.

            If you've done a similar upgrade, I'd love to hear about your experience and any challenges you...

            The Real Dangers of conductive glue.
            by mitsu2k
            I know many folks on this forum warn against conductive glue and suggest removing it immediately upon site. I'm here to vouch and say these people know what they are talking about. To be more accurate, the glue isn't intended to be and doesn't actually start out conductive. It gets conductive as it is heated by components that get hot. The glue starts out to be a light tan color but as it is exposed to heat, it gets darker and darker until it is a dark brown. I have found that it becomes conductive at the point that it reaches a light brown color on darker.

            Here is an experience I...

            Guide to transplant MEC1503 EC chip and EEPROM reprogamming for T14s gen 2 and X13 gen 2
            by acedogblast
            This is a guide that I am writing for helping others to replace their MEC1503 EC chip if it breaks (or to get around an inconvenient prompt to the BIOS). This forum has been extremely helpful to me so I would like to contribute to help others. I will tell you right now that this task is very difficult to do. You MUST have experience and tools to do precision micro-soldering, BGA reballing, trace repair, and general laptop repair skills.

            There are some specialty tools needed to do this task. The replacement MEC1503 chips can be acquired from Aliexpress. Do not buy the bare chips as...
