I agree that the plastic pin design of the heatsink is better than the old ones but I do still have problems with it. On at least 2 or 3 of the 4 CPU/Heatsinks that I've installed in the last few years I've found that one or more of the pins will not quite hit the hole in the motherboard dead on, it'll catch on the edge of the hole and then the plastic will deform slightly since the edge of the hole is quite sharp and the plastic is fairly soft, and then the pin that pushes down and spreads the little plastic nubs apart to hold it in place can slide out pre-maturely and prevent the mechanism from locking down properly. The last time I did it I was really careful to make sure all 4 of the clips were down into the holes on the motherboard before I pushed down on the locking buttons and it went much more smoothly. Now I use a 3rd party heatsink with a back plate so the point is moot.

PC LOAD LETTER posted:Why would I want this? Heard of it but haven't heard anything good or bad about it so haven't actually cared up until this post. I just looked this up... https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GUID_Partition_Table Seems like: - Uses GUIDs to identify partition types - No collisions - Provides a unique disk GUID and partition GUID for each partition - A good filesystem-independent way of referencing partitions and disks. - Minimum of 128 partition table entries - No need for extended and logical partitions. - Uses 64-bit LBA for storing Sector numbers - maximum addressable disk size is 2 ZiB. - Stores a backup header and partition table at the end of the disk that aids in recovery if the main copy is clobbered. - CRC32 checksums to detect errors and corruption of the partition table. The last two seem really nice in particular.
