I consider buying a better HSF for my T-Bird than my current Coolermaster CF5-5G11. One of the candidates is the FOP32 but I'm very doubtful when it comes to its clip because I had a FKP32 one year or so ago and its clip was downright awful! Without the metal plate on my K6-2 I would have destroyed the CPU. And after removing the heatsink for the third or fourth time the clip finally broke! I made better experiences in the meantime (the clip of the above mentioned Coolermaster heatsink is great!) but did Global Win also learn or is the FOP32 clip also very tough to use?

(I believe so because the folks at the GW-homepage write a good heatsink must not be removed easily...anyway, some comments from people who use this heatsink could help...thanks!)

The clip on the FOP32 is a pain to get on and off. I had my bro help me put it on once, it went a lot easyer. If you bend the clip it helps a little, but yes the clip sucks.
