Exactly which Xeons are you installing? Are they the newer Socket 603 models? Or are they the older Slot 2 cartridge type?

What motherboard are you using?
From what I can see on some server motherboard pictures, there is a locking lever on the socket. The heatsinks look they're held down with some spring clips that are attached to brackets that are screwed to the motherboard. Cricket

No, just use the thermal pad.
You can only use one or the other...not both at the same time or your temps will really get high. Cricket
