    Hello,
    I want to ask about the black tape that connect the fan and heat sink, what is it called? Is it available on amazon?
    It's thin, very adhesive, and don't leave sticky surface after remove.

    I don't know which tape is that but i simply use Kapton tape in there to seal the gaps. Its heat resistant and seals the gaps well. It doesn't look great but it just works. You can use any other heat resistant tape.
