How Loose is Too Loose?

Recommended Posts

I just mounted the backing plate for my new Meghalem cpu cooler on my motherboard and

this thing is way sloppy/loose, like almost 1/8 of an inch between the mounting plates and

motherboard (this is an Asus/AMD system).

I realize that as I mount the cooler itself it will pull everything snug, but I'm a little concerned

that this may be a little too much clearance, and may allow the cooler to move around too much.

Should I place some nylon washers to tighten things up a little bit, or is this much clearance acceptable?

I understand that it shoudn't be mounted too tightly onto the motherboard, but how loose is too loose?
