where to find thermal epoxy.. radio shack?

[davesdynamite]

I bought an oem voodoo3 2000 pci, but it was overheating something fierce. So, after some struggle, we were able to get the HS off the card (it was glued on), and now we are having a hard time trying to get a bigger HS to stick (we tried thermal compound with super glue on the edges). I've heard that thermal epoxy would do the trick, but haven't been able to locate it. Any Suggestions?

ps. I just received a tube of arctic silver (only $8) after reading I could mix it with the epoxy and make arctic silver epoxy. I forget where that was anyway. Thanks!

You have to be careful to get the right mixture of Thermal goop and Epoxy. I have been looking but cannot find the link that I saw for the correct mixture.

I will let you know when I find it.
