I can find heat sink compound, epoxy but what I need is. A pliable heat sink adhesive that will hold a heat sink to a IC in a vertical position. Needs to be pliable to be removed or replaced when service is required. I found just about everything but what I need. Any suggestions or links?

Re: Pliable Thermal Heat Sink Adhesive
Sorry if my suggestion doesn't fit your need, first off
Now, why not get a bunch of these and just replace them? Exactly how often do you need to redo it? How heavy is the heatsink?

Would something like that work? As you can most people in the reviews that gave it a bad rating simply don't understand how it works!
another option might be something like this, but you'd probably have to apply it each time:

Mounting and Handling Guidelines for TO220 TO220F TO247 Cases / Packages
The TO220, TO220F and TO247 are the popular packages for power devices because of their versatility and ability to dissipate moderate amounts of heat. This application note describes the basic guidelines for handling power MOSFETs in TO220, TO220 and TO247 packages shown in Figure 1. Please note that only mechanical and soldering guidelines are covered here. Additional precautions are required for isolating high voltage rated devices to meet safety regulations.

Well, my Gateway monitor seems to eat caps. So I was thinking there was some systemic issue going on here and what I'm thinking: the heatsink is blocking convection flow and thus roasts capacitors by radiation!
Now what I wonder. This piece of aluminum heatsink is obviously blocking convective flow. I could add a fan but there are some other issues involved here. How about...drilling holes into the aluminum?
The holes would add surface area and allow air to convectively flow through the heatsink which could reduce temperatures. However this would of course reduce the... -
Hi. I have Asus X55C laptop from year 2013. It has i3-2328M CPU. I replaced stock thermal paste with high quality thermal paste. Before thermal paste replacement, I measured CPU temperature Around 65-70 degrees Celcius with stock thermal paste. If after the replace thermal paste, I measured CPU temperature around 80-84 degrees Celcius and fan don't stop when system is idle. I replaced the thermal paste several times but still did not change. Where is the problem?

Forgive me this is my first request for help on this forum, so if i've screwed up or not followed the rules i should have i apologise profusely.
I have a Dell Latitude 5570 that was randomly shutting down, on further investigation i found that the machine had been shutting down due to thermal events as noted by windows event viewer.
My investigations lead me to the dell diagnostics screen, where i found that there were two sensors out of range which had been causing the shutdowns, one of which was the GPU thermal sensor and the other the ambient sensor.

Dear members,
I have got an ordinary gray thermal paste that has no name/model on the box.
I put some of this thermal paste on a 128-pin QFP IC. A bit of this thermal paste was put on pins of the IC.
I tried to clean the pins by thinner but the thermal paste cannot be cleaned from the pins properly. because the pins are tiny and the thermal paste is stuck between them.
Is it possible that the thermal paste damages pins of the IC in long term by creating corrosion or something?
Is it safe to leave the thermal paste on the pins?
I guess the thermal paste...
