VRM Heatsink Fell off? -

I have a HD7870 Video card, i installed Arctic Cooling Twin Turbo 2 cooler.
Everything was fine but today i saw that one of the vrm heatsink has fallen off. So i have two question: 1) Is it safe to play games while the heatsink is gone? 2) What can i do to reinstall the heatsink? I live in Turkey and i dont see much options available. Will a thermal pad work? Or i saw a Silicone Thermal Adhesive. http://www.dealextreme.com/p/fujik-s...ease-like-4579 Is this ok? |

thermal pads wont work. will need some adhesive tape or some glue like you showed. and VRMs get very hot so no i would fix it first thing, they can burn out.
