Sturdy and educational.
My Grandson loves tractors, he was very pleased to receive this puzzle instead of an Easter egg.

A total waste of my money.
These heatsink clips are a poor imitation of the real thing and the ones I received simply don't work. There are two arms on the outer black part of the clip that are part of the latching mechanism. On three of the four clips I received these arms hadn't formed correctly, the plastic had not run fully into the mould to form the arms, forming only stumps. See picture, the clip on the left is original Intel, the one on the right is one of the new clips I received.
The inner white part of the clips are a very sloppy fit in the outer black parts therefore being able to be pushed into the outer in any orientation rather than only the correct orientation indicated by a slot in the outer. The inner part measured 0.6mm dia. less than an original Intel inner part.
Not wanting to scrap a decent heatsink and fan I already had, I set out to replace the existing broken clips that had gone brittle with age. The clips I received were totally useless and a waste of my £4. A much better idea is to buy a new heatsink complete with genuine clips, thermal paste applied and a fan all included for less than £10. Simply Google cpc.farnell and search for LGA775, it turns out even my local computer shop had them for less than £10.
