i7 5820k and the weird hole

[dane332]

yea i kinda figured it would be. but seriously why the hole? and what happens if tim gets into it?

Well it is helpful if you want to make a keychain (My Pentium 4 had that hole), but no seriously not sure as to why there is such a hole.

And from this thread it says it is to let gases escape: (http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/341105-28-intel-3960x-hole)

So yeah it is fine
