Scary Stuff - Warning to all A64 - 939 users

Exactly, I LOVE the LGA 775, and it's pinless design. Great thinking.

Moron, it happens with EVERY processor that uses a heat spreader. Yes... the beloved Pentium 4 included.

Well, not EVERY P4. As I mentioned above, the LGA775 versions have a load plate that locks down over the processor and prevents it from being pulled out of the socket by the adhesion of the HSF to the heat spreader. Say what you will about the crappy internals of the Preshotts, but the mechanical aspects of the CPU interface are actually pretty nicely engineered.

The processor still sticks to the heatsink, right? Same problem.

No. Check the link that shows the load plate in action (second picture). It locks down firmly over the processor, so it isn't going anywhere when you pull up.

I didn't say the processor is ripped out of the socket by someone tugging on the heatsink. I said they stick together... and they do.

i am not plugging for OCZ with this comment, but their thermal compund is pretty much the same as AS5, but it is "thinner" and it makes for a much easier way to break the seal of the HSF and the chip...its worked really well for me...dont get me wrong, AS5 is great, but i like the thinner and less "pasty" feel of the OCZ compound...

just my $0.02
