I had the displeasure of trying to install this piece of shit today.
For people unaware of it:
It's a heatsink / fan that comes with the intel prescott processors ..
I have no idea why they went with this design .. but instead of some nice screws or something, they have these absolutely retarded pushdown .. things .. that don't stay in place no matter how hard you jam them into your motherboard.
It took me forever to get them into what looked like a half reasonable position, but in the process of doing that my hand slipped and I destroyed a capacitor on my motherboard.
In conclusion. The idiot that designed this system needs to be shot.

No way that would fit on my motherboard lol
My motherboard is like brand new and when I got it I was like "wtfroflbbq" when I saw how tiny it was. It's just a little bit bigger than my two hands put together. (No, my hands aren't huge like kbarr's/fatty reebo's)
