I was lucky enough to find one of these, but have been too afraid to install a heatsink to it due to reading reviews of people chipping the die, even after bending the heatsink clip to make it apply less pressure. To make things worse, mine does not have any sort of like strain relief or leveling pad or whatever it is that is on basically every other G3 ZIF, so not sure if it was removed from this unit, or these simply didn't come with them.
Main thing im looking for is suggestions on what I could use as a leveling pad. Ive tried removing them from some dead modules I have, but the sticky tape or whatever it is stays attached to the ZIF and doesn't come off with the pad. Im afraid using double sided tape may be too thick. Also not sure I should assume the 750GX die is the same exact height as the 750s; the pads have very little give to them if not. But then, if I do happen to not make good contact with the die, do I risk damage from that, due to overheating?
