So I have my heart set on the Chaintech 7NJS motherboard.....i like first the looks of it, and second the tons of extra features. I have no need for integrated graphics or sound, so that doesnt bother me at all.....just one more thing to disable, in fact....only need 1 network adapter as well.
Anyhow, I have heard of a problem where when removing a heatsink that requires all 6 clips, theres a high chance of busting off some poorly-placed diodes right next to the socket...and I mean RIGHT NEXT to the socket.

I found this when seeking advice about the motherboard from another forum....
I really want this motherboard, but I am trying to find a reason not to buy it. Rendering it useless everytime I remove the heatsink is a good reason, I think. BTW I have a Thermalright AX-7, and it requires all 6 of the clips, so it looks as though I can't avoid this problem.....
Anyone have experience with this, or is willing to test to see if there is a way around it?
