Well the lugs on either side of the ZIF socket here are plastic and
it's because the original cooling solution was so loose
that this problem arose.

Now I was thinking that would be a good idea.

Feel free to name the product... anyone?

I don't give a darn if the heatsink never comes off but am
concerned about thermal transfer.
I'll have to call around a few local shops and see if anyone has any
of this.
