You may not want to use foam tape. The heat's effect on the tape's glue
should create quite a mess and eventually eliminate the stickiness of
the tape. It would be interesting to know what other folks have done to
keep the fans in place.
I'm using a 3" fan on the right side of the heatsink (it's only needed
there, right over the finals). Mine pulls air up. I put several diodes
in series with the 12v supply to get a speed that would move enough air
to be effective without making too much noise. With the fan, it just
does not ever get very hot! I've been using double-sided tape for about
a year with no problem.
