Hi i've installed my new venomous x, but the heatsink rotates on top of the mounting bracket. I would sat about 5-10 degrees.

Is this right? Does anyone else with one have any experience of this?

When i was putting one of the mounting screws on it seemed really stiff - despite being really careful not to cross-thread it...

I've emailed Thermalright but have yet to hear back from them

I was really excited about getting hold of what i thought was the best air cooler on the market...but have so far been disappointed

Any help/advice gratefully received

Mine doesn't move! Have you increased the pressure to 70lbs?

Or do you mean when you increase the pressure it moves? If so, just hold it when you increase the pressure. I did and it held perfectly straight.
 
thanks for the reply fellas. i just mean even tightened up the headsink rotates when i touch it...what temps are you getting btw with what processors?

thanks
 
Mines tightened to the max and has some movement.

i7 @ 3.8 idles mid 30s and after 10 hours prime max temps were mid 60s.
 
I just stuck a gloop in the middle and clamped the whole thing down. I never bother spreading these days. Getting 75-80c under Prime.
