Has anybody worked with the new Asetek mounting system?

It looks pretty good, of course this is just an opinion.

I have a modified Vapo PE. The mounting systems for the Socket A are somewhat cumbersome, using the 3 cleats on the socket itself. The good thing about Vapo mountings however is that they designed an insulating system that is much more forgiving when you want to swap motherboards and chips. Theres no sticky gue, and no mounting brackets on the backside of the cpu.

This solution looks like a step up. The bracket actually is the insulating clamshell. It also looks like it fully utilizes the new mounting system of the Socket 939. Looks like its as easy to mount as most waterblocks (though you probably still need to use dielectric grease ect like all phase change).

Hope this helps some.
