Thanks guys! Attaching something to the die like a RAM sink has it's merits. I'm going to think on this experiment a while and may get back to it one day.

I tried mounting my Fuzion to the bare die but the 1366 socket is so big that the waterblock doesn't supply enough down force to make the CPU get good contact with the socket pins. I don't have a backplate on my board and my top plate is kinda flimsy so I didn't want to force it. I needed my rig back up and running so I just swapped my old chip back in for now.
