Ultra 120 Extreme loose after install
OK I just installed a Ultra 120 Extreme, I used the correct 775 rear bracket, and I tighten the screws all the way until they stop. But I can twist the cooler about 10 degrees or more to the right very easily. I have not taken it all apart again, I was hoping someone would know what I did wrong before doing this.

That for some reason occurs with practically everybody's install of the Ultra 120 Extreme. It doesn't seem to affect temperatures any, and it remains quite tight every other way you might try to move it. Therefore, it's quite OK that way.

Oh, I guess I don't have to take everything apart then. That is why I ask here first, I would have everything all taken apart and be trying all night to find what was wrong. Thanks for the quick replies.

If you're really concerned, you can do a penny mod to apply more pressure to the heatsink from the mounting bracket.

i think it's designed that way, to aid in the line method for TIM application. once you mount the heatsink, you're supposed to to twist it a few degrees in each direction to help spread out the TIM.
