Lagrange, GA.. god I feel sorry for you. Use superglue on the four corners of the chip. Should work fine. Or use JB Weld, that's what I did. mind you, it is PERMANENT, and you have to have it weighted together for over 6 hours for the bond to stick.

Well for the video card if you have a cooler that has the pins you can just use them. But what I would experiment with would mixing 1 part epoxy with 30-50 parts of thermal compund. You should be able to get enough cooling along with plenty of strength. You may need to change the epoxy-thermal compund ration around.

Thank You,
