Noticed there was a bit too much give/movement in the heatsink and as i travel to LAN's a lot I needed something a bit more substantial. Here's a quick fix I came up with and everyone I've asked says it looks litle part of the case. The foam is to make sure there isn't conductivitity between the case and the electrical parts so that it doesn't turn into one dirty great big capacitor

Pretty cool if you move your case around alot. Would be useful with those heavy coolers.

Probably helps take a lot of stress off of the HS when you have the case vertical.
I was looking to do something similar in my new build, except I was thinking just putting an L-bracket on the back wall to help support the HS when it's hanging sideways from the mobo.

Yea i looked into something like that JEK3 but the only trouble was making sure it was isolated from the supply so decided to do something like that. If you need a hand with how I did it just pm me.
