You could use SEKISUI thermal tape. It's the best thermal adhesive / tape out there it seems. A little hard to remove, though.

Usually those are the mixing epoxy kind and end up being permanent. I don't know about snod33's recommendation, but I think he refers to the 2-Component mixing glue. That's permanent.

What is the need? I use Sekisui tape. It's really good, not for CPUs or GPUs but mosfets and other things it's REALLY efficient, thin a nd cheap. Look it up on Ebay, you can buy it easy.
Never told us for what for, that helps a lot.

shant, you STILL have not said what the tape is going on. Mosfets< Vregs, unobtainium jet magic stuff?
Okay. I said my idea. Best of luck then. Get those old binders off your head and try something diff.

haha sorry 
i don't wanna sound dumb but i wanna use them on capacitors and pretty much everything else i can find on my gtx460 that heats up,even by a tiny bit, i want to install heatsinks on everything i can find
i have the Accelero Twin Turbo II installed on it,i covered the vrm's and memories with the g1 that came with it and now i want to cover everything else with a similar paste
as for performance,50C during gaming on the warmest days oced to 850mhz core and 2100mhz memory ...epic!

Okay, you don't need to cool those, but it's your stuff.
Good luck.

The way I have always done it is a tiny tiny dot of superglue in 2 corners of each sink with thermal paste blob in middle just slide a razor blade / stanley knife under the sink when you want to remove it

The superglue and Tpaste is a viable work around. I did it long ago.
