    I keep seeing occasional reports of the AM2 retention bracket breaking - seems like a pretty lousy design to me. AMD would have been better sticking with the older S939 / S754 design which used 3 retention lugs (and meant folks could still have used a lot of the older non-stock heatsink solutions). A bit of an own-goal IMO.
