Unfortuantely, I haven't experienced any heat sink compound which bonds, which
is not to say it doesn't exist. I'm sure it does, it's likely a little less
common and hence a little more expensive. Usually I've seen clamps which force
the heat sink on the the processor.
I did find a heat sink with a conductive adhesive, however. I doubt it
is the size you need, but if you like to experiment with dremel tools that
could be easily rectified.
