I always do. Or some variation thereof. With a fan of course.

just out of curiosity I got a socket a cooler with a heatsink (was use on
athlon xp 2600+) could I use it on my gf 4 ti 4200 using adhesive?

Artic Silver Silver Adhesive providing it'll fit. I use that to mount
a
SS7
HSF to a GF2 GTS

I wouldn't use that. Its too messy and too much risk. I know its better
thermally then everything else, but I found its hard to work with. I
find
when
you try to attach heatsinks they slide all over the place and the stuff
goes
everywhere which is not good because its slightly conductive.
I would use Artic Alumina Adhesive instead. It is super strong and it
seems to
dry quicker and grab onto the heatsink without it sliding all over the
place
as you apply pressure. Its not as good thermally as Arctic Silver
adhesive, but
its close.
