<i>"HSF Trauma:
So there you are just minding your own business and you wake up and smell smoke and the casa is burning down around you. What was the trouble? That pesky two-cleat clip on your HSF was the problem. Seriously, Matt "CIWS" Waters, a buddy of mine had a HSF snap off in middle of the night. The cleat on the socket actually broke off under the pressure of the clipping system on his HSF. Keep in mind that this unit is not moved around as a gaming box. Six-cleat clips are looking better all the time.

I really find it hard to place blame on the HSF maker as AMD has some pretty high PSI requirements for their heatsink specs. Seems that the guys that make crappy sockets should come into question.</i>
who to blame? hsf maker, mobo maker or AMD? read the sig.
