Re: OT: Heat sink Glue?

Thanks Rodger,
    I found it in Newark (didn't in Allied though) I also found it in MSC as well.
The reason i asked about gluing heat sinks on IC is not for over clocking (so
squash out that idea. I am actually making a replacement amp for the may universal
game that need them but never seem to have the separate amp board. My little 8 pin
IC is getting hotter then I would like. (I said it was game related.. But sigh....
Raster.... Looks like I posted to the wrong group again.) :-)
