just put this on my am2 mobo. seems to move around a bit. this normal?
No, apply screws to the tightest.
but its am2 clip. ther is no screws
Move around how? Does the base of it break contact with the processor when it moves? Or does the base rotate?
the base rotates. but i wouldnt say it breaks contact at all. especialy with how much force u have to clip it down with lol
the bereganazoid in this vid seems to have managed it u should try it
rotating base of maybe 5-10° is normal
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.
Quite possibly the worst way of attaching a cooler to a CPU I've seen, could they put that clip in a more awkward place?
And yeh with a basic clip like that it's going to rotate a bit, it should stop once the paste sets with the CPU heat just be carful not to twist too hard after it's set.
