That was a poor job of a review in my opinion. If the reviewer would of payed attention and opened his eyes, he would of noticed that on one side of the clip there is a slot for you to insert a screwdriver to help apply safe pressure when installing the heatsink. If he is having extreme difficulty putting the thing on, he has problems elsewhere.
Secondly the reviewer didn't even let allow the TIM to go through it's required Phase Change before performing temperature tests. People don't understand that these TIM pads need to be "baked" at temperatures upwards of 57C to allow for maximum Phase Change, thus maximum cooling.
Thirdly, no mention as to what kind of stress the CPU was in when temperatures were taken. Full load? Idle? Also, a proper test would of involved at least a session of RC5, Prime95, Seti@home, or something else to properly stress the CPU.
All in all a very poor review.
