Pardon the crappy cellphone pic...but

The anchor points (at least on this motherboard) basically look like
jumper posts that have been joined with an arch. The heatsink is held in
place by spring tension against the four anchors. Just one anchor failing
results in the heatsink popping up off the chip and in my case resulted in
very frequent system crashes.
