Please can someone just answer this very quickly as I think I will buy it now as I want it on Thursday.

Would this do:

Is it sticky on both sides and would it work for the RAM Sinks?

NO, YOU ONLY WANT THERMAL TAPE!!!

[alexander]

Could anyone show me an online supplier of double sided thermal tape?

I can't find it anywhere.

I can't find it anywhere.

Would anyone be willing to sell me some of their roll? I just need around 20cm.

I can pay them.

If so please reply ASAP.

Thanks.

NO

ok -- clear your mind of everything said above

What you have linked to is the same as the TIM used for CPU's a phase change material
that goes all soft and gooy with heat (Not what you want)

You have 4 options

1) Get some Ramsinks that come with sticky pads .. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatal...of_Vantec.html
2) Buy some thermal sticky pads for use with old ramsinks.. (I have no clue where)
3) Bond them on solid with Arctic Epoxy resin& Arctic STD 1part A to 1part b http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatal...erials_27.html
In gen 30mins in a freezer in an antistatic bag, they just pop off with no damage, but
you must use mix of both.
4) Buy some Thermaltake Std DDR ram coolers --- hack up with hack saw
use the supplied stick pads and make & place your own bigger better ramsinks.
(not sure why to get these days) but its a couple of long heatsinks and some heatspreaders, & some strips of thermal tape..... have to admit have worked a charm on most of my graphics cards.

** Do not use std glue
** Do not use std tape
** Do not use TIM pads they go soft and your heatsinks will fall off.

[alexander]

You have saved both me and my graphics card! (as long as one of the heatsinks doesn't fall off...)
