I just got a 1055t about 2 months after they came out and I was in a hurry to try it out....
I didn't feel like taking the time to remove the mobo to change out the HSF bracket to a bolt on enzo type something that I modded and instead used the provided AM2/+/3 kit...Turns out the bracket to hold the HDF was razor sharp...The TIM I used was this and formed a perfect vacuum seal...
But that's not all....
After I realized that the bracket cut the nub off and destroyed my cpu I destroyed my HSF with a hammer out of anger...
Here is my original post afterwards...
I just bought a brand spanking new AMD processor which I will not name and when I put my Xiggy on it I used the AM2 bracket that came with it....
after getting it seated and whatnot I checked out the New cpu in the BIOS and made sure everything was fine..
I then set off to load windows when I heard Snap bam dat dat dat.... and My screen instantly went black..
I opened up my case to find my Xiggy had snapped my retention Bracket and ripping my new cpu out of the socket leaving 7 pins behind and bending half of the Remaining pins...
I blacked out for a bit after that waking up with the hammer in my hands and completely sick to my Stomach...
I will never buy a heavy CPU cooler ever again..even though that Xiggy was a good cooler I don't regret smashing it up...
Instead of just losing a CPU I flipped out.
Not my first FAIL but the most expensive and epic.
