This needs standardization! :D
Or rather, distros not using different standards.

Apparently the /boot one works in RHEL 4 too
I don't have any other systems to test it on right now, though

is it "normal" to have one pin at a fixed position?
the other 3 pins can be moved up/down

is the unit otherwise pristine? is there paste on the heatsink in 3 rows?
i'd try seeing if you can rotate that pin and seeing if it goes back into place
or were they supposed to be...
thinks
I fucked up my heatsink install
let me get a second opinion
hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1615037
then you push them down to lock
IIRC
also youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=nBae0TOdBqw
I wish I had seen that, I think I know where I fucked up ;p
