GabrielT Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 Did you check to see if it's on there good and snug? Don't hurt me but did it come with a thin piece of plastic over the base of the cooler? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewr05 Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 Yeah, it seems as though it wasn't installed correctly. Try reseating the heatsink and seeing how it goes from there... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
