Vibration-proof cooling for Xeon chip?

Archived from groups: comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.chips (More info?)

I'm looking to create a cooling solution for my Pentium dual Xeon that will
be able to withstand vibration in an off-road vehicle. So I can't use heavy
heatsinks. What is the best cooling scheme that can withstand vibration
(and not too expensive)? Thanks

Thanks. What is a good way to reinforce the HSF mounting bracket? Should I
use a home made approach, or is there a product available to provide this
reinforcement?
