Push-pins are easy to use - why are you having problems?
all about the freezer 7 pro matehttp://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-035-AR&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=1395
Sadly mate, I don't think rev 2 is push pin.
from that video it looks like it is bud
Freezer 7 Pro mark 2 is push pin.
It doesn't have Intel style twist and click though.
There is a plastic frame which attaches top side with push pins.
They insert with near zero force then 4 pegs are pushed into them which splays them out.
Heatsink attaches to the frame with 2 screws.
You can attach the heatsink without removing the MB as there is no backplate.
The new mounting is universal, unlike the old F7 Pro which only fitted socket 775, or AMD not both.
They work well on dual cores but i wouldn't recommend one for use on an overclocked i5 or Phenon X4.
Don't even think about using one with an i7.

its looks like easy fitting mate, and it its as good as the v1 cooling wise you will be a happy bunny
its 25 degrees outside and atleast the same indoors here atm and i am running a HD video on the other screen running at my day to day 3ghz

That's excellent mate, what temps do you get at full load?
Atm mine is running at 45C idle, and 67C load.

Should do 4ghz no problem on air as i have had no problems with my freezer pro 7!! is it the EO or CO?
This shot was taken earlier in the year!
suicide runs was hitting my m/b max FSB but still temps were not an issue.

4GHz if it's an E0, not if it's a C0.
100% load on both cores with Orthos with todays heat: 62 on each core
Machine has been on all day so its pretty toasty already in house

Never pushed mine past 3.6, reason is because its a C0 chip & its got duff thermal sensors on it. I don't actually know the correct temp its running at. Coretemp & HWMonitor says 60, realtemp says 53, Bios says 29 
That & I know nothing about overclocking RAM, memory timings voltage etc. can't be arsed as the rig its in isnt used much.

On a C0 or an E0?

On my E8200 i run it at 3.8ghz 24/7. Temps never go above 70. I can go to 4ghz but i need much higher voltages and temps are too high for my liking.
Ran my old e8400 CO 24/7 at 3.6ghz 1.15v, had it easily upto 4.5ghz only benchmark stable never tried to get it prime stable at that speed as heat was an issue as was using 1.45v+
The E0's are a lot better, as u generally need far less vcore for higher clocks, so therefor will be less heat. Stonking cpu's though.

Had my e8600 for well over a year at 4ghz hasnt missed a beat. I could properly get it higher, but havnt felt the need to do so yet. Mine idle at 35 lower when its cooler. Under load it rarely pops above the 50 mark. Thats with a asus tower cooler dont know the exact name of it as ocuk dont seme to stock it anymore.

Excellent. What is the stock speed of that chip?
I'm gonna get an Arctic Freezer Pro and see if i can run it @ 4Ghz 24/7, it's EO stepping so it should be fine. If it's under 70 degrees at full load i'm happy.

4Ghz shouldnt be a problem even if it is a CO...mine is

4GHz is a problem on mine, wont go past 3.96.
