ive seen this before myself, but as a rule of thumb, i allways take the heatsinks off now and have a look, and to apply some AS5.

the amount of times i have instaled a mobo, to then have to disasemble it to do this is just too many.

and the amount i have seen that are not even making contact with the fet's or northbridge is unreal

so yes, now i just take it off anyway, and reseat it properly
