FAQ 2
Question : On AMD systems, is the “half-hole” on the Anchoring Mount sturdy enough for safe use of my Thermalright heatsink.
Answer : This mounting form factor has gone through extensive safety and mounting pressure testing here at Thermalright.
The four screws acts as pillars on each side, and firmly squeezes to hold the Anchoring Mount in place. So once the Anchoring Mount is firmly screwed on, there is no need to worry.
