I actually spent time to read most of it. The one thing I don't understand is:

Quote:

The RAM sinks were then pressed on firmly to the RAM chip. Care must be taken not to slide the sink around once it is placed on the glue since that will mix the glue and thermal compound:

What? So did he put glue on the ram first or the paste?

He probably used some glue (usually a small dab of thermal epoxy) on the corners of the ram chips and put thermal paste on the middle part so they could be taken off easier later... I've heard of people doing that because they supposedly get better results doing that than using thermal tape, but it isn't permanent like thermal epoxy. I think if you are going to use ramchip heatsinks, just use thermal epoxy or just use tape.... (I just use tape because it seems to work fine for me- the heatsinks get hot, meaning they are working)
