Yeah, the very, very first Athlon XP's had this problem. After the 1.4 GHz models came out it was fixed, however. Either way, the new Athlon XP's are fixed. That video had relevance when those CPU's were current, but now it's simply useless.
Even then, the heatsink fan actually coming off is nearly impossible. Even if someone were to beat the motherboard hard or knock the computer off, the damned heatsink fan would rip the entire socket off the motherboard. If you've ever installed an Athlon XP heatsink fan, you know it's NOT coming off without the socket attached unless you get it off yourself. The only way this is possible is if the heatsink fan is installed incorrectly, and this happens more often than you'd think.
