Asus have come up with this to reduce bent pin warranty claims on upcoming Z170 motherboards. Do you think you need it?

ROFL.

Imagine the people who need this to install the CPU, trying to install a CPU from 10 years ago, where there were no 'noob shields' (heatspreader) and you had to carefully tension the heatsink to the bare die

They should just come packaged like a sim card

You would be surprised lol. I was at a friends house recently and he was trying to fit some new memory into his laptop. He was literally just trying to force the old ones out, I quickly showed him that you had to press the module down to disengage the release mechanism.
