ax-7 not making good contact with cpu?

[Deadphishy]

i've posted about this befor, my ax-7 isn't making good enough contact with my cpu. i've tried remounting it severale time. i know this because my temp drops atleast 2 degs just by putting my case on it's side. how can i bend the clip that mounts it to give the heatsink more pressure aginst the cpu. or can i put something under the clip like so has anyone tried it. would it be to much

You could try using a shim to make sure it's sitting level on the CPU die.

well i guess i can't complain it's 2 degs but at idle i'm still at 34 degs would be nice to see 32

34 degrees? lol that seems like good enough contact to me... :)

dude. what were you running before you got the ax-7?

[Deadphishy]

60 degs
but if i had better contact it would 32 or less regardless if 34 is cool enough.
