Default Help with heatsync
I have a Q6600 on my Abit x38 mobo. I got an Asus Silent Knight 2 and went to install the bracket for it. Everything seemed to be tight on the bracket but when i installed the heatsync to my CPU and used the single bar bracket mount the thing it seems unstable. Is there anything i can do for more stability so it doesn't feel like the cooler is going to fall off when i turn my case back upright?

Try using a bearing, that's what we do for out TRUE's. Or any other piece of metal. That or try to figure out why it's loose, seems irregular to me. Also use bearings on the screws.
