Personally I don't care. I have never had a heatsink fall off any of my chips- and if it did, I'd have bigger problems in my case than the CPU burning up.

If I recall, there is a video that disputes Tom's findings. Heatsinks are removed and the AMDs survive...

I'm sure the next video will be which CPU is tougher under a hammer... :rolleyes:
