Hi guys,

I re-seated my cpu block this morning after recently changing my thermal paste. Looking the below pic:

Does the block look like its seated properly? I'm worried that the brackets either side are bowing slightly. I didn't screw them down too hard, just pinch-tight - the block isn't going anywhere.

I had really high temps yesterday after originally re-pasting the other night, two things, I don't think I applied enough paste (Grizzly Thermal) or seated the block properly afterwards.

Corsair guidance is pretty vague on installation.

Thanks.

How are the temps now?

Cant remember my model now, 150i? Maybe.

I noticed they bow. It's as design. Top tip: finger tight, then use a screwdriver to turn gentle with finger and thumb.

Temps are definitely better but I haven't stressed it yet... I'll get a better chance tomorrow and report back!
