New I Concur. No twisting Allowed
You can't twist off a stock Pentium 4 fan/heatsink assembly. The 4 posted bracket permanently attached to the motherboard fits right up against the sides of the rectangular heat sink.

It can also be a bear to remove after the fact, as I recently found when switching mine to a quieter Zalman model. I nearly had one of my all too frequent Hulk moments.
