Can you tell me if I mounted my xp-90 correctly?

Sorry, I know this should be a slam-dunk, but I am a little bit paranoid. It seemed to be too easy. Also, do I have the heatsink oriented the right way with the heat pipes pointing to the left?

Looks good to me. If everything feels tight and secure, you should be good to go.

The heatpipes should be oriented left/right, IIRC (doesn't matter which way). I'm using mine the same way you have yours.

Looks good. You actually want it facing that direction, because the heatpipes are on the left close to the fan output. If you had the heatpipes facing the other way, it would be sitting right next to the memory chips.

You have the same heatsink and motherboard as me. Or recent heatsink anyways, I just switched to that stock amd copper heatpipe sink.

thats perfect..you want the HSF over the ram..supposed to cool them as well in the orientation

It is easy if you do it right and that heatsink is a monster, it takes up the quarter of the board.

looks fine. I remember having my xp90 installed on my epox board. coverd the whole top part of the board.
