Attach the VGA RAM Heatsinks Remove the film from the thermal tapes on the bottom of the RAM Heatsinks and attach the heatsinks on the VGA RAM. Note 1) If thermal grease or other residue remains on the RAM, the thermal tapes will not stick. Clean the surface of the RAM with acetone or alcohol before attaching. Note 2) The bonding strength of the thermal tapes reaches 90% after 24 hours of curing. Do not put excessive force on the RAM heatsinks during this period. Note 3) Thermal tapes lose adhesiveness after it has been used for attachment once and cannot be reused. Purchase thermal tapes separately should you try again.
