I am looking for a measured drawing of the heatsink mounting holes on amd and intel mobos I have looked on amd/intel/mobo manufacturers sites and at formfactor.org. I can find specs for the heatsinks themselves but not for the hole mounts on the motherboards(ie not on the cpu mounting block but drilled all the way through the mobo). Where the hell is this info?!? Anybody know?

Welcome to the forums Cardinal Fang The specs for Socket A are somewhere in the mobo specs, possibly chipset specs for 760 or similar. Intels Spec will be somewhere in the S478 specs. As for clawhammer, there's probably a spec somewhere, but I dunno where.
Clawhammer is using a new mounting system, very similar to the one used by P4, but with a single clip rather than two. This requires holes through the motherboard, and a mounting on the back of the motherboard. Lugs are non existant for Clawhammer and S478 P4, so in a year or so's time, when K7 is no longer a going concern, the dangerous heatsink thread won't be necessary, as all heatsinks will use sensible mounting systems.
i'm gonna have to close Dangerous Heatsinks LTD. a reputable shop that sells dangerous heatsinks, as featured on Watchdog and Bit Tech. (watchdog is a consumer complaints show that turned crap after anne robinson left it (anne robinson is a mean dominatrix who hosts The Weakest Link (A dominatrix is a female Domme (A Domme is a Master of slaves (The Weakest Link is a TV program. its a quiz show type thing)))))
Well.. they were gonna do away with something lugs/holes all the same LOL! Isnt it gonna encorporate EMF shielding and use even more pressure then the K7s??
