Bingo. That's why the article is so pointless. Unless you pull the heatsink on purpose, the heatsink isn't coming off and the chip won't fry. The only way this "problem" could present itself is if some asshole is out to get you and removes your heatsink. But then, wouldn't it be easier for the aforementioned asshole to just open your case and jam a screwdriver into the motherboard?
