Its epoxy actually, hot glue probably wouldn't do well with the heat this thing puts outI've never seen anyone use hot-glue instead of push-pins to mount a fan....until now.
Paired with a Fractal Node 804 micro-ATX chassis...
I wish this was all in one thread, because I have the feeling this is like watching a new driver who somehow got hold of a supercar and is about to dump all their data all over the freeway.

Update on my Eypc server build... (things not going to plan :/)

I didn't feel like having to find pins that would work and/or drilling holes in the heatsink to use screws.
Unfortunately the thing needs WAY more airflow that that little fan can do

Oh it was for the HBA (NOT raid card!)? I thought we were about the CPU cooler.

What are your case temps?
It seems like not much room and "not great airflow" in a Fractal Node 804 case. Have you stuck a few temperature probes in to see where the hot-spots are and what your cooling is like? (What I linked is "cheap and dirty," but I do mean for the post to be constructive, and they get the job done on the cheap.)
