Swiftech - MCX4000 versus Slk-900

[Stoneburner]

Which one is easier to install? I know you can do the slk-900 using the regular retention mechanism for p4's, but it looks a little flimsy. I've read the instructions for the slk-900 also, but unfortunately the guides at swiftech aren't working. How long does it take, and how much work is it to install either? And what are the chances of breaking something by tightening too mucH?

SLK 'u' series is the same thing, but honestly, I hate taking off the entire motherboard. Good news is that it's really, really on there, no chance of it coming off unless it's with a chunk of my motherboard.
