Zalman CNPS10X Extreme question

[mpavao81]

I have a maximus III formula board with a Zalman CNPS10X Extreme, i installed it but its a tad lose. It doesnt move on its own and it does take a decent amount of pressure to move it. Should i be concerned about it? I wasnt able to fully screw down the screws that are closest to the ram sockets because its somewhat obstructed, but it seems to be making contact and isnt moving unless i try to force it to move.

You need to fully screw the crews down. Otherwise your not making good contact.

fixed it, was a pain in the butt though, big hands , very little room = very hard time.

And we put ourselves through this stuff and call it a hobby!

How are the temps?

Run Prime 95 small fft for 30 min and check with realtemp or HW Monitor?
