Hi, i need help, i recently installed some LEDs in my case, they came with double-sided tape.

I mounted them and it all looked damn good, untill one night it fell down. D:

So i put it up again, but some time after, it fell down again.

Then i tried buying some more hardcore double-sided tape, but it fell down again, i did clean the case and the LED strip before putting it on again.

I have no idea what to do, it keeps falling down, and its sooo annoying! 

 

The only thing i have left is maybe glueing it up...

But i dont know if it might get hot in there and maybe glue steams would be conductive? I dont know D:

 

please help me out of my misery.

 

Mr.Froggy......

Just take them out and clean the area they were in before, use some 3M double sided tape, that stuff is literally what rockets are made out of..

I would use silicone to mount them. Available at most hardware stores. Or just stupid glue some magnets to the LED strip

The magnets wouldn´t be such a bad idea actually....

Did you clean the surfaces with running alcohol before applying the adhesive? It really makes a difference

 

i did on the strip itself, but not the actual case surface.... :) Its worth a try

Folding@Home. Basically your GPU and CPU are used for simulating the interactions between different proteins in the body for research in finding cures for say, cancer. It is basically distributed computing. Every member who folds helps add to the overall computing power. However, it runs the CPU and GPU at a very high load, and generates a stupidly high amount of heat. My build log in my signature has my current build, and while folding the ENTIRE case, inside and out is very warm to the touch. I do have an AMD GPU and an enthusiast intel CPU. If you want to learn more, you can visit the site here as well as the LinusTechTips subforum on folding (as well as cryptocurrency mining) here.

Donate your unused computer resources for cancer and other research. For Zinsey ❤
