Default problem with big typhoon

Ok so I'm sittin' here putting the big typhoon VX in and i get it clamped down and its all wiggly. is this right? i figured it should be tight for how heavy it is... its easily move-able and what not. it makes me nervous because i am to poor to replace my video card lol

I think he meant that he's afraid the Big Typhoon might work itself loose and fall and smash into his video card.

(Although I'd personally like to see a Big Typhoon strapped onto a GPU myself...)
