I just finished glueing my IHS to the pcb with some automotive, black silicone. It's the Permatex Black Silicone Adhesive Sealant to be exact.
I placed a thin bead all along inside edge of the IHS, the edge where there is always leftover glue from the original Intel adhesive. When I pressed the IHS firmly into the pcb, no silicone whatsover spread out under the IHS ans thus now the chip looks stock.
From what I can see, the IHS looks even and no different from when I purchased it. I will give it 24 hours and then I will mess around with it to see if it holds together strongly.
BTW, the silicone is rated up to 230C. No problems with the CPU's heat. ;-)
