Hi

On my server I have run out of SATA ports, and had to buy a dell perc H310

I have flashed it to LSI.

 

I bought a 12v 40x40x10(20?)mm fan because it gets really warm, now I want to glue the fan to the heatsink, so the temprature drops on it.

 

I have tried with regular glue gun, but it just fell off, probably too warm for it.

What kind of glue should I use?

 

Here are some pictures

zip tie?

How exactly do I attach it?

Is there other form of zip ties? Or just use a "thin" one?

I think I'd wrap it around the card (not where the bus connector is). You'd need one that is long enough, but I'd think it would hold it pretty securely. And zip tie will fair better than glue or tape. You could try zip tie to the heatsink, but I'm not sure there is a way. You'd certainly not want to pry the headsink off of the chip.

If you have no printer, just order the print via their website for a couple of bucks 

I'd just pickup a pack of small zip ties and dasiy chain them around the card on the side that doesn't plug into the motherboard. 

 

Or 

 

Id position a larger fan in the case to blow air across the card to avoid using smaller fans since they have a tendency to be pretty loud. 

 

This guy got pretty creative with his fan.

I used high temperature epoxy found at Home depot to attach two little strips of wood to the heat sink, then screwed the fan to the wood strips.

 

I suppose you could glue the fan directly, but you'll never get it off.

I used a 4-40 (or 6-32, can't remember which one fit better) tap to make threads between the vanes on the sink and just used two screws to hold my 40x40 fan on.

 

Edit: I have two H310, the first I used this copper heatsink/fan combo.  The second I used this fan with the stock heatsink.  To attach, I drilled two 4-40 thru-holes between the fins (fan sits slightly out of square to the sink due to this), lightly chamfered the holes on the smooth side.  I used a 4-40 tap on the two diagonal holes and polished the flat side with 1200 grit on flat surface.  I attached the fan with socket head cap screws.  Both fans plug into separate motherboard fan headers and I control them using the motherboard.

I got one of these Zalman FB123 fan adapters for my card.  As a benefit it cools all the other PCI/PCIe cards (like my HVR-2250s) as well.
