Odd HFS

So, just got around to installing my Cogage True Spirit. This is how it behaves, after snipping it on the mobo.

It rotates a bit. Sits tight against the CPU but the way it can move kinda worries me. First S-1336, followed the instruction. Any ideas what went wrong?

The X-shaped pins go over the metal bit that attaches to the CPU itself but only forces it down via a circular hole.

This was a pretty common issue with the thermalright ultra extreme, some users fitted a rubber washer between the x clamp and the cpu to cure this. What are your temps like at load, as long as the cooler isnt rattling about you should be ok.

Sorry setter, totallt missed your reply! I'm ages late, but the temps I'm getting at 4GHz is 80c at full load. It's in the upper ranges, and I thought it would be way lower with this HFS. Kinda disappointed. This is at 1.272 vCore.

Those temperatures look about right to me. You have to remember that the Cogage only has 4x6mm heat pipes which doesn't really compare with the likes of the real TRUE.
