I'm looking into a new heatsink to use for overclocking. Originally, I was very excited about the bolt on design many new high end sinks use. The clamps can be a pain to put on, I've almost stabbed a motherboard to death doing it, and for the heavy sinks the bolts just seem more secure.
But then I kept hearing about people saying their motherboard were bending really badly under the stress of the bolts. That really *CAN'T* be good for a motherboard IMO, and I would be really off put if they did. I've got a shuttle AN35NU, and I've been thinking about getting one of the SLK sinks but I can't decide if I want to use the bolts or just go with an A version. And pros and cons people have found between the two? Am I overracting to the stress on the MB?
Thx.
