Actually I'm more concerned abot all the transistors etc that aren't on the top-side socket area of the mobo, because if they're not on the topside then there are probably a bunch on the bottom side, like my EVGA 790i FTW, which has transistors and resistors galore right in the way of my backplate. THat means if i tighten the HS retention too hard, it will pinch a resistor and cause board to FF.
