Heatsink lost on several ML/DL models

[PDP-Fan]

Recently we had some ML and DL servers in our workshop with heatsinks fallen off the northbridge chip. The cause is simple and stupid... the heatsink is attached to the board by two hooks which are soldered into the board. And as every engineer should know, sloder joints should not be exposed to mechanical stress.
After a couple of years the soft solder gives way to the force and the spring loaded headsink jumps off the chip... causing it to overheat and die.

Interestingly, other manufacturers like Asus have recognised the problem and they bend the ends of the hooks in a manner that they cannot be pulled out.

I really hope that HP has solved that problem on their newer servers....

Affected models: All servers with northbridge coolers attached to soldered hooks with straight pins. (i.e. DL380G4, DL380G3, ML370G3...)
