Working on getting a pic. Sorry for the delay.
Just out of curiosity, why doesn't thermal tape have the same effect?
EDIT: Seems like the thermal paste won't be an issue: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.4584574

I think your concern is valid
Lets see a pic, maybe you can get some smaller heatsinks

The copper heatsinks I have did not come with thermal adhesive/tape on them. I have Artic Silver thermal paste and thermal adhesive, so I was wondering if I could affix the heatsinks to the back of the H-board using that.
My concern is that when I look at the back of the H-board, I can see the tiny soldering connections on the back of the chip. Since the paste is minimally conductive, does that mean if I affix the heatsinks using it, I'll short the connections?
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm very new to electrical engineering. Thanks very much.
