Default thermal tape
im wondering what if i use frag tape and cut a square in the center of the area i want to put on ram
and in that empty area, put thermal adhesive or thermal compound in there...

well for starters you would have to layer the thermal tape two layers thick and then very carefully apply the silver 3 inside Honestly would nto really do anything performance wise, may get 1-2 more mhz mabey if even that.

its just to save some money using thermal compound you already have and the frag tape that comes with it

just a subtitude for thermal adhesives

better thermal conductivity than just frag tape i believe

Yes very true, I think I am gonna make a clamp system of somekind to hold the sinks on tight with artic silver 3, that frag tape is just annoying.
