I recently installed an aftermarket cooler to my GTX 560 which decreased the temps drastically. In the process of installation my IHS (Integrated Heat Spreader) came off and I thought I'd just use of my Arctic Cooling G-1 Thermal Adhesive (http://www.arctic.ac/en/p/cooling/discontinued-products/thermal-compound/381/g-1.html?L=1&c=2291) to bind the IHS and the GPU processor. After booting up my PC, I noticed horrible temperatures immediately. Temp maxed out to 100° C immediately after running FurMark. I had the idea that the G-1 thermal adhesive may not be doing very well with heat transfer so I removed it and applied Zalman Thermal Grease (not adhesive) when I boot my PC, my thermals did not go over 72° C at any given time when running FurMark.
Point: My point and question is:
The G-1 thermal adhesive was used to bind multiple heatsinks onto the around 6 VRAM and other chips on my GPU based on my previous experience with this thermal adhesive, should I rather buy Arctic Silver Thermal Adhesive 2-part (http://www.arcticsilver.com/arctic_silver_thermal_adhesive.htm) ? Would this give me better temps because when I run Furmark and feel the vram heatsinks they seem to not even be getting hot. I couldn't use the Zalman thermal grease on the vrams since it's not adhesive, the vrams would fall off.
