I think you can just use superglue.

I'd use thermal adhesive.

i looked on that site and still cant find it. do you no the name brand of it or something? i think you guys are thinking about heatsink compound thats not what i need i need something that will let me stick a heatsink on the chips. normally u stick them on with clips on the mother board but those clips arent on an n64

no, they also make thermal adhesive that is thermal compund, with adhesive properties. a brand name i hear much of is artic adhesive and artic alumina adhesive, from the artic silver line of thermal adhesives.

get some of the arctic silver, it runs about 8 - 9 bucks for a syringe of it, but that is more than I ever use ( I build computers )
its the best on the market
