ok, i'm not responsible if something goes wrong but...you can use double sided tape, i used it on my 9800pro to great effect!

Can buy thermal tape from quite a few places now online.

But the problem is their is a gap of at least 1/2 mm btween cooler and memory chips and most tapes ive found for sale arent as thick as i need.Can anybody help pls

You can buy double sided sticky foam tabs. They're used for sticking things like fire alarms up - they're about 3/4mm thick.

Perhaps this product from The Cooling Shop is what you need?

Those pads aren't sticky, i have a few from ages ago

Double sided tape man! thin enough to transfer heat (foam would just trap the heat & do more harm than good) & about a quid!
