Does the Zalman ZM80A-HP need adhesive?
I was looking at the Zalman ZM80A-HP http://www.exoticpc.com and it says that it requires thermal adhesive for installation. Could I get by with Arctic Silver III non-adhesive? (I want to be able to pull the heatsink off for a future video card).

The ZM80A does not, repeat, does not require thermal adhesive. In fact Thermal adhesive is NOT, repeat, NOT recomended.pandamonium54 wrote:I was looking at the Zalman ZM80A-HP http://www.exoticpc.com and it says that it requires thermal adhesive for installation.

BTW, did everyone know that there are 2 versions of the 80A? The earlier one without 9700 bezel cutout and later one with.
