Did you transport your PC with the heavy heatsing left on the CPU? Then you're an idiot

This also happened to me, but I sued Noctua for $50m and now own the whole company.

noctua heatsinks don't attach to your cpu socket, they attach to the backplate that you are supposed to install.
I've had a NH D15 in my tower since I built it and have had zero issues, even taken it on trips. Just lay it flat when you transport it and no issues.
