I just picked up a Swiftech MCW60 water block and the MC8800 heatsink kit for my eVGA 8800 GTS. I keep reading about how terrible the thermal tape on these Swiftech heatsinks are, and, while I would like to mount the heatsinks securely, I still want to be able to get them off again in the future. I know a lot of people on XS have mixed thermal compound and adhesive to make a less “permanent” bond. I have some leftover Artic Alumina Thermal Adhesive and some Artic Silver 5 Thermal Compound. Can I combine these to make an adhesive for the heatsinks that is secure, but will still come off without destroying the RAM or MOSFETS? If so, what amount should I use of each?

Any advice would be most appreciated.
