Comment on I can't attach the heatsink/fan to my new (to me) socket 7 motherboard because the tabs are broken off.
This is a fantastic idea! This sounds way easier than trying to epoxy a lego or two onto the socket.
Do this. The clip ons were to ensure a tight fit for heat to escape. Thermal glue works just as well on a heat sink…you can also just get a heat sink with fan attached if needed.
