On 775 and 1366 motherboards the processor is placed in the socket, then a bracket goes over the top and is firmly clamped down. Then a cooler is clamped on top.
Does the board still work if the bracket is absent, and the pressure from the cooler is the only thing holding the cpu in position? I reason that it should, but I'm not brave enough to take the bracket off to find out.
