Twisting Venomous X

I'd like to order a Venomous X for my i7 (LGA 1366) but I'm worried about the mounting system. I'd like to use the Indigo Xtreme TIM which requires a firm mounting system that doesn't twist or turn. I've also heard differing reports from different people about the Venomous X's mounting system.
 
Using max pressure, you can still twist and turn it, but only if you force it. It wont move while transporting or anything like that
 
Thanks. Any idea if the slight twisting may cause problems with Indigo Xtreme though?
 
Like I said, the only way to really move the cooler is to force it. You'd have to put a lot of effort into twisting it at max pressure. I'd say if you wanted to stick with the Venomous-X, do so.

You shouldnt have any problems with the Indigo Xtreme.
 
Thanks. It's basically this or an NH-D14. The Noctua is bigger but the Thermalright is probably better engineered so it may be the same.

There you have it. You probably don't want the Venomous X, since it's basically TRUE 2.0.
