The ASUS model of the 6800gt's heatsinks fall off. I thought I had attached it back correctly, but it fell off again. What should I use to attach it? I need more than just a thermal compound because it needs to stick to the card, but I've heard to not use adhesive compounds with GPU's. Help?
(and by the way the heatsink that fell off is not the main one, but one of the outside ones. I'm assuming I don't want to just leave it off.)
