One of the nice features of the new thermal design is the fact that AMD K8 coolers can be installed either way. There is no particular position that is required for heatsink/fan combinations to be installed. The retention frame has the lock for the "spec" clip on both sides. With the Thermaltake clip, if you choose to install the heatsink/fan combination opposite from the power supply, you will have to be careful to see if the Thermaltake designed clip will not interfere or hit your chipset heatsink. This clip design creates theis possible problem.
