Yes - a different system? -

it would be better to have 4 threaded inserts in the motherboard PCB
so it could be tightened with equal force on all 4 corners
of the fan/heatsink assembly.

But - maybe people would over tighten them and crack the PCB?
You'd really need a low force torque wrench to get it right -
maybe 2lbs/inch?
