LOL yeah those damn HSF clips suck... thats the reason i bought my shim... also its nice for the waterblock when im taking tubes on and off.... all the excess non balanced stress would have chipped my die if i didnt have a shim...
if you get one of the shims that have holes for the little feet on your processor... then just put it on there... and move it around and see if the shim comes close to anything it can short out... if it does... then file it down a bit
