I'd find a high heat rated loc-tite and some thermal grease.
Swirl the thermal grease on in a donut fashion on the heat sink
bottom.  In the center of the donut, apply loc-tite.  Apply to
the chip.

Don't install the card for an hour, letting it set.  

Things to watch out for:

Check that heat rating on your loc-tite.

Make sure your clearance for your heat sink will be sufficient
once its on the chip and the card installed.
