Today I had to change cpu's and decided I was going to figure out a way to make this hs fit better When I first mounted this hs on my Kentsfield it was soo loose (with the screws bottomed out) that I could wiggle it back and forth so much it was almost off the IHS.. Terrible design if you ask me. Anyway, since the design of the top X bracket is using the center as the point of pressure I added a piece of cardboard under it then screwed all 4 screws as tight as they would go.. This didnt warp the board it was a perfect fit with no wiggle.. I mean if I tried with force I could get it to move around but at least it was snug. Now, with changing my fan to the pull position I gained 3c but after mounting with the piece of cardboard under the top X bracket I am now under 60c loaded at 1.45v. Thats over 8c improvement.. Not bad Sorry no pics camera was stolen
