well since were showing pictures, here's the heatsink I last did the super glue trick on, It ran on a hot-rodded geforce 2 GTS from 2004 to 2009, I was moving, tried the card, it was finally doa so I (lightly) wacked the heatsink with a hammer (once) and poped it off by hand, It was scavanged from a intel 486 overdrive chip (long ago dead), and the power wire is a moded wake on lan cable



I agree it is no replacement for proper thermal epoxy, and I have no idea how it would hold up under mobile conditions over time, altho i was not exactly kind to the card this thing was attached to, the board had warped so bad from severe overclocking / heat of the non gpu items (dac ram power) that it would not operate while bolted down, and if you were ever silly enough to shut off the computer it would require vigorous wiggling (usually done blind by gabbing the monitor cable) for quite a aggravating while before hitting a magic spot in the agp socket + case/bracket friction to post (i did this for a quite a few years)

so the method does hold up to some bull
