Gorilla Glue D:

To be honest, just screw the fan onto the HEATSINK. Like, screw the screws into the spaces between the grills of it. That's how it's set up on my old desktop.

no idea if it'll work, but it says it can do everything you want it to do. Just remember this is a heatsink compound (like putting heatsink onto proc). Its made more for attaching RAM sinks and such to the board, but I think it would do just fine for you.

Lol, this time actually click the link. "Thermal Adhesive" right at the top, and a warning at the bottom.

"CAUTION!
Arctic Silver Thermal Adhesive is a permanent adhesive.
Components you attach with Arctic Silver Thermal Adhesive will stay attached forever.

Arctic Silver Thermal Adhesive should be kept cold and away from UV light (sunlight and florescent lighting).
We recommend refrigerating the unused material and allowing it to come to room temperature prior to use. "

Its a compound yes, but not like you're thinking. Its a THERMAL ADHESIVE compound, aka glue that conducts heat.

As long as it doesn't melt with heat it should be fine

Also, all the thermal compound made from silver (best conductive compound), well atleast most of them act like superglue, they stick permenantly to the cpu and heatsink

So are u guys sure it will work for gluing the plastic to the heat sink?

Because I don't want to spend my money on something that's not going to work.
