I glued my heatsink to my processor?

Question

Because my computer contains no brackets for connecting the heatsink to the processor, I used superglue to glue my heatsink to a Socket 423 Intel processor, putting thermal paste in the middle and a ring of superglue on the outside of the processor's metal cover. What do you think of this idea?

Answer 1

Yeah, that glue with burn and if its solvent based, which I suspect it most probably is, say hello to the hospital!

Answer 2

I once used zip ties.

Answer 3

LOL. I used superglue (only a small amount) and it worked out 100%.

No problems and still living. :)

Answer 4

I hope you never have to remove it...and I hope the superglue doesn't emit any toxic fumes from heating...
