this video has been around for quite a while now. i would suspect that amd has done a lot towards fixing this problem, although i haven't seen any proof that they have. but with or without thermal protection, the hsf doesn't come off easily.
oh, i've heard not so great things about the thermal diodes on the boards. people claim that it still doesn't work when it hits the temperature you set.
and redarrow, you'd need some seriously strong airflow to keep it functioning the same. normal case fans that are so far from the actual hsf won't keep the proc cool enough.
