Okay guys nothing major but i just need to check something with you.
Ive been looking at my coolermaster v8 over the past few days making sure its okay and it looks like (if you look hard enough) that it is tilting downwards by probably around 1 degree? you cant see it straight away but only if you know what you're looking for. Im just wondering if this is normal because this is quite a beefy cooler but i took the side panel off, gave it a VERY SMALL jiggle and it was extremely firm, wasnt budging so it was obviously secure but it does seem to be pulling down on the top of the board but only by a teeny bit. The 3 screws on the top of the board are on anyway so its not going to break or anything, just wondering if this is normal because of its weight?
(long post, sorry.)
EDIT: One of my friends just text me back after i told him this and he said the V8 will be mounted perfectly flat, just the heat pipes on it will bend a teeny bit under the Heat sink weight stress so they take the stress, not the board. In which would be good because there is 8 solid heat pipes, 4 either side
