zalman 9700 problems

[ascarytiger]

So I just put my PC together, and my 9700 fam is scraping against the heat fins. When I lift up on the fins, the fan spins great, otherwise it scrapes. Its instlled on the 680i mobo (A1). Anyone else have problems with this, or know how to fix it?

Not sure what you mean by "lifting up on the fins". The fan is scraping against the inside of the its recess in the fins, correct? If that's the case, it sounds like some fins may be bent...
