The Intel-homepage is surely not one site out of many sites, because the CPU manufacturer is responsible for the design of all CPU-sockets and for standardization of the specifications for them. All mainboard-suppliers
have to fulfil these specifications - especially Intel is really strong in having a look for mainboard-manufacturers to use the standards they give.
I think now you got your information: This bracket is part of your mainboard, so there is no reason why we should include it to our coolers and why we should exchange it for free, right?
For me, this discussion is finished, because it is waste of time in my eyes. First you were blaming Scythe for your errors, now you are blaming all other companies for punishing you for you nescience. As you see, Asus also will not give you any accomodation for the broken bracket, so why should we? Maybe you should think about, why it is called everytime you fault, when you have problems with new hard- or software. Maybe, there is a little bit of or even more than a little bit of truth when manufacturers are telling you that? Just imagine the glass-thing again: When you brake a glass and when you will say "Oh, i didn't know it will brake" - whose fault was it? And when you brake a 478-socket which is heat-stable up to 70°C and out of plastic which is tested to be stable for years - whose fault was it?
Cheers,
Stefan
