The adhesive makes a permanent bond. Why don't you go to the manufacturer's site at <A HREF="http://www.arcticsilver.com/index.html" target="_new">http://www.arcticsilver.com/index.html</A>? There's a warning that implies you could mix it with the compound so the bond won't be permanent. Wouln't want to use it on a cpu, regardless.

Well, I don't know what you mean by "everything." Heh! I only overclock my cpu, so I use compound. Of course, even if I didn't overclock I'd use it. I don't do anything that needs adhesive.

Maybe someone who does more can give you some better advice. For instance, some people mount larger fans/heatsinks on their video cards. Or you may want to cool off some other chip.

Beautiful system - - except the fasttrak is wasted $$$ with one drive. Get two HDD so you can mirror (RAID1) for data protection or if you are a speed freak you can logically join them. Promise also has a Fasttrak ata100 now too if you get a really fast drive.
