Your right, to mount the clips needs heavy pressure, but you will sie the benifit in your temperatures.

I'll put it like this; I was impressed with performance though I've learned my lesson. I'm going to stick to simpler mounting, as I won't always have an extra hand to put add'l force into mounting. I found build quality on the heatsinks to be good but not the best. I ended up being a bit disappointed in the somewhat-shined base. Then again, it's probably a good thing it's nickel-plated, as the un-plated copper base on my Ïnfïnïty is quite tarnished now.
