said by heat84:Yeah, its good to have an AMD board with regard to the HSF's. You don't have dismantle the whole system just to install a HSF. Yes, some cases have a butt flap(like a pair of long johns has) so you don't have to do that. Even with that, its still alot more work. Why are AMD and Intel HSF mounting systems different anyway?
I think its karma. If you go to overclocking forums, Intel people are a bunch of snobs. They think they're bad ass with their i7's while Phenom II's are crap just because the i7 out performs them on benchmarks the that stress the CPU way more than normal usage ever will. So the Intel snobs were punished for their snobbery by having to go through hell to install aftermarket HSF's.
