I've always wondered are those dinky looking vrm heatsinks for videocard ever enough? I have a gtx260 under water right now, and I have cut the vrm section of the stock heatsink and kept it on the videocard, unfortunately the vrms are hitting 150C underload.

I have quite a few bga ramsinks and vrm heatsinks I could throw on, but I lack faith in those dinky little things keeping the vrm cool.

What are your thoughts on this matter?
 
You can use it as is, without mixing with thermal paste. Try experimenting, I believe that by mixing in paste you lessen the strength of the glue.

I read online that if you use pure adhesive, you can bet it will never come off (should I decide to remove it in the future). Mixing it with paste allows you to remove it in the future if you choose to while maintaining a decent amount of adhesive strength. Did you just straight glue them on?

Yes I did and they came off fairly easily when the the card was still warm. I would do some test samples to verify that.
