Personally, I bought a roll of Seksui heat tape.
Arctic Silver seems to adhere a little naturally and straight out of the tube.
Thanks for all the replies.
Ill start searching for a Z clip.
I have some heat sink tape but I don't feel its going to transfer the heat as reliably as arctic silver 5.
So why did almost every 486 boards have those clips? whats the point? there's no product for them? I have never seen a Z clip on any PC.
