Not incorrect, just very technically irrelevant and misleading. The article in question isn’t outright lying, yes if you completely rip out the cooler when the CPU is at maximum it can be damaged, but they warped that into this supposedly big scary defect, which is manipulative at best
Ah, I see where you’re coming from now. Something like that is obviously a minor defect, and it should be treated as such.
