^ Then I think you haven't fitted HSF properly. I mean, while fitting HSF, almost no pressure is needed. Just place it over the socket brackets & lock it.

i double checked it.
its right on target.

but i had to use quite some effort to fit the metal hook thingy.

can someone upload a vid of them mounting a HSF? i'd really appreciate it

also, are amd heatsinks a PITA to fit???
coz i had to apply quite a bit of force to "fit" and turn the "key" thing into its slot (after hooking the other end into the other slot/projection)

In Pictures: 16 Of The PC Industry's Most Epic Failures

Intel Heat Sink Pushpins (2004-

Intel might have the fastest CPUs you can buy, but we're looking forward to the day when the boxed heat sink fastening mechanism that debuted alongside LGA 775 is replaced with something sturdier. Unlike AMD's simple-yet-reliable hook and latch system, Intel's plastic pushpin design is quite easy to break if you're not careful during the installation process. And given the number of processors that get tested around here, you can bet we've broken our fair share.

^^ LOL.
Actually most of us are used to it.

those things dont even fit properly.

and my cpu temps are touching ~40-45 degrees during low-stress levels(like online flash heavy games, or installing large programs). normal?
