just bought a Thermaltake Volcano7. It's got an 80mm fan which is temperature controlled. the heatsink is made of aluminum but has a copper base. My problem is that the clip that goes with it attaches to only one snap on each side. And this is fan/heatsink is quite heavy. anything i can do to help this? has anyone tried "modding" their heatsinks o it will attach to the four holes on the mobo? TIA! :)

I have the SK6, which is solid copper and quite heavy, and it only attaches with clips, and it's been doing great so far.. I think you'd be fine using the clips, Thermaltake designed it that way, so *hopefully* they know what they're doing ;)
