The only thing I can find on Tape Mod is about Intel Q6600. Is that what you're talking about?

The tape mod is basically sealing off the sides of the heatsink and the fans with tape. Yes it literally is a "tape" mod, lol.
I used no residue duct tape to do mine and before mounting it vertically I didn't bother tying the fan down with anything. When I did go vertical the tape has enough strength to hold the fan in place. It droops just a little bit, mainly because I'm reusing it. I'm sure it'd be nice and firm if I used new tape. But overall I saw a 3-4c drop in temps after doing so.
