I had a PC Power and Cooling CPU cooler for a 233MMX that started making
noise. The fan is vacuum packed...no screws and there is nothing I can do
to fix it so I called them up. They had me send it to them for repair but
then decided to send me a new replacement . The replacement is the same as
the one I sent in but it has no mechanical means of securing it... just a
piece of tape stuck to the bottom. They say this is a thermal tape that Air
Locks the cooler to the CPU. This idea seems really cheap to me and I am
quite surprised that PC Power & Cooling is selling something like this
particularly in light of the fact that once you use the tape you must
replace it.

I don't trust this tape idea so I will probably try using cable locks to
secure it to the Socket 7. I can't remove the Fan so I can't get a wire in
there even if I had one. Anybody see or use these things ?...and if so with
what results.
