Hello to ALL.

I am about to start into some testing of a number of Athlon type
mainboards.  I have an older Duron 900 or so chip for my test cpu, and a
suitable heatsink/fan combo for that. What I want to avoid is having to
disassemble the cpu/heatsink combo at each testing, and worry about
reapplication of heatsink compound.

I'm thinking about some sort of temporary adhesive between the cpu chip
and the heatsink/fan, so that they can remain together between mainboard
testings.

In recent mailings to me of credit card renewals, the cards are mailed
attached by some sort of a gob of goo adhesive to a stiff paper
substrate. I was thinking that this sort of temporary adhesive might
suit my testing purposes for mating of a test cpu to a test HS&F, for
swapping around.

Any advice for this situation  will be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
