While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.
The pushpins are ok... makes assembling PCs faster than screws. That is for stock coolers.
Anything heavier than the stock cooler and pushpins start to get loose after many uses.

The flimsy plastic in most of the newer stock sucks. Especially if you take the machine apart relatively often. If you happen to push down while misaligned, too, the plastic fins that push out to keep the assembly tight can break or warp and make it close to impossible to get it back on. Something sturdier would be nice.
