I have to explain how the Zalman CNPS7000A-Cu is attached to the mother board. It comes with a decently think steel back plate, with 2 holes, one on top and bottom, and has a thick piece of cardboard on the top. This connects to the mother board via 2 goldish bolts, with screw holes on top. The HS crossbar sits on top of those bolts, and screws in there.

thats how that is done.
Now the dilema, first of all, the Zalman is already over 300g heavier than what the cpu is suggested to use. (Hardocp suggested this HS) Second, when i placed the HS on the cpu, there was a good 2cm between the crossbar and the bolts to which they attach. I can tighten those down, but would that be to much pressure for the cpu? Thank you for any help.
