Re: having the fan bearings seize up, either on the CPU or the power supply after a few years is not at all uncommon

Unless the heat sink is removed, the system locks up and no damage is done.

In 15 years in this business I've never seen a clipped on (as opposed to some of the early glued on) heat sink fall off.

Never.

Why don't they show what happens when you step on a CPU? That's more likely to occur than a clipped on heat sink falling off.
