I don't know about the cooling system and was certainly not impressed with the review, but I was damn impressed with that simple and elegant push-pin mount using what looks like stamped springy steel. Assuming it applies equal and proper pressures centered on the die face it seems a very smart non geek mounting method that might not be as sensitive to sidewards hose loads. I would guess it is cheap to mass manufacture also?

I also assume it is removable at will. That, and the fact that it would not require the mobo to be removed is something that would make it so much more friendly to the average mainstream Joe looking for better cooling.

If something like that [the mount] was adapted for AMD WBs like the 6002-A, especially Socket A, it would be great.
