I just built a backup box with an 850 PIII, and threw an FOP32 on it. This thing is vibrating noticably. It is cooling okay, but it seems like the clamp just isn't making it. Anyone got suggestions or the same problem?

Check the fan blades. Sounds like one it bent or damaged somehow, and the unbalanced blade is causing vibration due to uneven centrifical force.

Good call, Mr B. Replaced the fan with an old GlobalWin I had, and problem solved. Thanks.
