That HSF is 50% over the wight rating for the socket 7. On top of thta it only uses a single tab clip. Thats a formula for a fried CPU and MB.
A friend had his HSF shear off the plastic tab on the socket. In the seconds it took him to shutdown the system the CPU fired and the motherboard was overheated enough to destroy it.
Hope you use the zalman on an ASUS or SOLTEK. They're the only ones I know of with immediate thermal shutdown.
BTW the thermal resistance numbers look really good but you can never tell how they tested to get them. Tbred is smaller die and numbers are worse. bigger palomino or barton look much better.
Be interested to see how the Zalman works if you get it.
