So I was installing my new setup with the Z87 Extreme6 and noticed that a heatsink was a little loose. I circled it in the picture below. The silver piece wobbles within the black piece, but can't fall out. Doesn't look like any thermal paste came loose. Seems like it was a pressed fit. So I pressed them firmly together and moved forward. Everything is up and running fine. But now im freaking out a bit. Should I RMA the board? Try to paste the 2 together? The other similar sink on the board is fine.

As long as it stays on, I think it's fine... Most of those are just for looks anyway.

Check your motherboard temps, if anything is out of the ordinary then RMA it. If not, then just stick with it.

Thank you very much for replying to both of my questions/threads. It is much appreciated.
