Yeah I use low temp. I saw a guy post once saying to use high temp because the PS2 mobo can get up to a high enough temp to actually melt the glue again and then it gets all over the mobo.....so they say. I have never had this problem with low temp. Just stay away from putting it on the IC's if you can for two reasons, 1 it can insulate the chip and make it over heat and burn up and 2 because the IC's do get kind of hot and could like stated before melt the glue. The BIOS chip doesn't get very hot at all thats why I use it there. Others use super glue, I use it from time to time especially on the back of the mobo when soldering to the via's the wires have to lay perfectly flat and there cant be a big blob of hot glue there because the heat/RF shield on the back where the Via's are lies right on top of the mobo.
