Dear Dan3:

If heatsinks fall off a lot, watch what happens when a RDRAM heat spreader falls off. It burns quite nicely under load. I have seen an Intel P4 motherboard fry literally when the DRDRAM ignited (from the smoke billowing from the case). The fire started from a new RIMM (and the heat spreader appeared to be in place) installed just prior to power up. Note, no Athlon or Duron MBs use RDRAM and RIMMs are not thermally monitored in most MBs AFAIK.
