Tape

Hello everyone.

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good type of adhesive tape for use inside computer cases? I need to tape a temp sensor to a heat sink.

I need something that can take the heat and that won’t get hard, brittle or gooey over time.

Thanks.

I use the double sided foam tape as it really works well and it tends to form around the temp probe.

I’m not sure I want something that permanent, this temp probe is for a Thermaltake Smart Case Fan II. So I may be moving the sensor, and maybe the fan, around the case.

Thanks.

It isn't permanent and although it keeps stuff in place, I hav ehad not problem removing it, plus it doesn't leave a residue.
By the way you use it like regular tape putting the tape on the top of the probe.

Ah, so you don't use the other sticky side of the tape?

I'll see if I can find some of that, thanks.
