I notice that my cooling tower still can be wiggled (very lightly). Do I need to tighten it more? or do I have to put less thermal paste (using very little though). I think I've tighten it pretty good cause I can start to see my mobo bow a little.
Thanks.

you could try a reseat if you like. but IMO you have hit the mark where your CPU is running hot like IB does. they do tend to wiggle slightly so i doubt that is the problem. how are your temps at 4.4 - 4.5GHz?
