Am I the only one whom thinks the heatsink set up Intel did with their quad cores is the biggest engineering disaster in computer history? They want you to mount a big chunk of aluminum with a fan on top onto a motherboard with plastic "push pins".

This POS thing gave me nothing but troubles trying to install it, when I first built my PC. Now the last few days my PC has be shutting down out of the blue. Well it turns out the POS heat sink set up pop out of the hole and the heat sink wasn't making contact.

So her I am for the last fucking 30 mins trying to get this god damn disaster of an engineering job to work and it wont. WTF were they thinking? When I bought the CPU it was $350 and they expect you to install it with the world worst heatsink design.

This is what I'm dealing with.. You are supposed to somehow hold a big ass heat sink on the cup "securely with those stupid ass "plastic" push pins.
