I finally got to mount the Kabuto. It was hardly a "few seconds"; took three hands to mount it and even then was a stretch. Putting 60+ lbs into mounting a heatsink really isn't a good idea; it can be done but those AM2 clips are flawed. The product itself, while keeping the processor cool, is flawed. My suggestion, as a businessman, is to redesign those clips to mimic the stock heatsink's method or to mimic the prior generation's AM2 mounting system. The temperatures improved greatly with the tighter mount, but that is useless if it takes so much force and effort to mount it tightly.
