Big Typhoon crooked~

[desultadox]

I have a Thermaltake Big Typhoon installed on a DFI LanParty UT nf4 Ultra-D motherboard with a 3700+ San Diego. I took the stock fan off of the heatsink and replaced it with a 120x38mm Panaflo Ultra (which required mild ghetto-rigging). Installation of the Typhoon wasn't exactly a straightforward task and I notice that the heatsink is sort of crooked. I can actually move it around a little, too. It doesn't come up off the processor though, i can just sort of rotate it. My CPU temp is ~3x C when overclocked to 2.65ghz. I'm guessing the temps are OK, but maybe they could be better? Anyone else have a Big Typhoon that can share their experience? Thanks.

Sounds like you don't have the hsf tightened enough to me.

Mines also a little crooked dude, I don't think its anything to worry about, the heatpipes are probably just bent a slight amount.

I had to pretty much figure out how to mount my big typhoon myself it wasnt too bad just used common sense.....anyways mine is a little loose as well but its pretty tight so I dont feel like tightening and crushing it when temps are good.

Yeah, the mounting is pretty straightfoward, even tho I despise Tt I find the Typhoon works pretty good for me. I get as low as 27C idle on my 3400+ ClawHammer when my AC is set to about 71F. I wish they would have included longer screws in a new revision or sent them out to people who proved they had purchased a Typhoon.
