    Installing A Socket A Fan/Heatsink
    Author: JonnyGURU
    Date Posted: August 2000 Updated: September 21st, 2001

    After you do this, you steady the heatsink with one hand, and push down on the BACK SIDE CLIP next! He's right! It's a cake walk!

    One heatsink that a co-worker of mine has turned me on to, as a solution for those boneheads that muscle their units a bit too much and end up breaking the mounting tabs off of their socket, is the Swiftech. It does not mount on the tabs of the socket, but rather the four holes that most Socket A boards come with.

    The Orb has gotten a lot of flack. In my opinion, the flack is coming from people that don't have the patience required to NOT break a CPU in half. What a shame. The first thing to do is to flex the hell out of the clip.

    No need to buy fancy hand exercise devices. Just put a orb heatsink in each hand and repeatedly flex the clips to build up your hand muscles. You never know when you may need strong hand muscles.
