skybox f5 heatsink fallen of. replacing with new mx4 thermal paste, but not sticking

[kaisar1]

Hi all, just got a new batch of skybox f5's. i got a couple of receivers which the heatsinks have fallen of. bought some arctic mx-4 thermal paste and cleaned the heatsink with some acetone.

replaced the thermal paste but its not sticking, keeps sliding of. how can i stick it down.

should i put some superglue on the corners? or some thermal paste on each corner (mx-4 non conductive)? what other solution could i use?

any tips would be much appreciated. thanks.

I would try it with a little super glue but you got to remember if your box gets to hot the super might fail, try to use a thin layer as possible of glue.

I also found this link artic silver but may be a little toexpensive for a F5.

you need something like this
50mm x 50mm 1.5mm TGB6 THERMAL HEATSINK PAD DOUBLE SIDED SELF ADHESIVE TAPE | eBay

You can buy thermal glue, here is an example Arctic Silver Alumina Thermal Adhesive (5g) [AATA-5G]

Great for chipsets.
