Hi,
I am looking for some thermal 2-sided tape for hold down passive heatsinks that do not have clips.
I have various 386 to P1 boards I use for testing. I do not run them long. Maybe up to 10 minutes. I usually just put a loose heat sink on the CPU.
But recently I killed a board when I son came into the room and scared the s@*t out of me . I bumped the board. The heat sink fell off and shorted out all kinds of stuff on the board.
So I should tape these heatsinks down. They are low profile and have no fans. I like it this way for testing longer cards.

I am having a devil of a time finding 2-sided sticky thermal pads or tape. At least ones that are wider then 1/2", are less are 25 meters long, and don't cost a saw-buck!
I'm probably using bad search terms.
Can some one here point me to tape or pads that are about the size of 486 cpu's
Thanks
