Okay first off i'd like to say I love my ninja (now that its in) its a great product, add that to a nexus 120mm and its quiet while keeping my temps at 33C Idle and 39C at load. But DAMN that was the hardest installation of a heatsink ive ever done, it makes me want to never undo the heat sink again. Changing the retention bracket was no problem its just getting those damn clamps on, I seriously thought i cracked my board several times and cut hand on the fins.
So my question is how was everyone elses experience installing this heatsink? And how much pressure do you need to put on a CPU to break it? Ive been building computers for awhile now and always wondered that, since you usually have to put a lot of pressure on the clamps to get them to clamp (unless ive been doing it wrong and been getting lucky all these years). By the way I have a A8N sli deluxe board with an 4400+ X2 processor.
