I use a similar method to adhere a cpu to a waterblock/heatsink that is not
permanent. I apply thermal compound as normal and a small amount of Type
150 silicon on each corner of the cpu. The cpu is placed in a slot 1
adapter and I use a clamp to let it cure overnight. This produces a much
more even contact to the cpu than I had before with waterblock fastening
devices. The silicon can be cut with an exacto knife, and the cpu removed
easily. Thanks,
(The email to Jon bounced for some reason, so send any inquiries to me until that gets straightened out.)
