XP1700 Heatsink question

[ShallowHal]

Has anyone had problems with the heatsink/fan that shipped with the retail AMD 1700?

No, it has been sitting very fine right in the box where I left it. Just kidding. The HS/F is a coolermaster and I have one almost identincal installed in my old 1.2GHz DDR system. It has ran for about 9 months now with no problem although it hasn't been doing a very good job of keeping my system cool. It does a good enough job though.
