A little vibration helps ASIII align itself faster but too much vibration may not be good. Check the fan to see if it is out of balance somehow. There could be a lot of buildup on one of the blades.

definately check the fan like gone_fishin said. Take it off the 'sink and give it a good eyeballing. If the 'sink is moving so much that you notice it, you have a real problem. Over time you'll sand your CPU die away. that's not good I think :D :D

I have a CAK38 too- it does not vibrate at all.

I bought the hsf new it is not visually moving on the cpu but if i put my hand on the case I can feel a slight vibration.
I don't know mabe I am not used to the sound of a high speed fan. thanks for everyones in put I think I will watch it and see what happens.;)
