One things for sure people, as usual please inspect your board closely as many times these assembly lines talk to much to each other not paying attention to what they are doing. I tightened them just now and hopefully did not over tighten.

Can someone tell me if the provided NB fan/sink is needed?
Not quite sure how loose it is in your case, but they are meant to be a little loose and only tightens up once the CPU is secured in the socket.
