    i wouldn't use thermal glue unless it was absolutely necessary ... and there's no need to glue any HSF to the core of a video card as they have plenty of good ones that you can use normal artic silver on

    no it shouldn't ruin the card by doing so, but i agree with Pyrate that you should look into a 'mountable' HSF instead, and then use a simple thermal paste like AS5 for best results.

    This way you dont have to worry about the fan ever falling off.
