Default Ultra Extreme tightness
Added thermal paste, put the Ultra Etreme heatsink on and tightened all the screws. It's not possible to pull it off, but I can, very easily, adjust it's rotation to the left and right. Is this normal, is it not supposed to be completely tight?

This is a big problem with all of ThermalRight's products. I would suggest that you add a few washers under each screw to make it tighter.

I'll see what I can do. Washers are pretty thin though? I should add it between the motherboard and the Thermalright?

I'm not sure what the mounting pieces look like on the Extreme



If it has similar screws like that the one above for Socket 939 motherboards, you may be better off buying shorter screws instead.

Before you go out and buy anything, you should check and see if the heatsink is make full contact to the CPU. My HR-05 SLI and the HR-05 that I have on another chipset feel loose, but they are making full contact.

Make sure you sandpaper the hole, and then put some U rubber over it to avoid sharp edges. Put some grease around the newly drilled hole, and then screw your computer, screw it hard. Maybe install some UV lights and turn em up to indicate that your computer is also excited.

It is full contact, but I can rotate it to the left and right with little effort.

I called the store I bought it from, they said that it was okay if it were contacting the processor.
