fuzion and mounting

[pRS317]

so i'm trying to get the best mount on my naked opty 170 with the fuzion, but can't seem to get the right mix. under load, my core 1 temp is pretty consistently 8C higher than the core 0 under load as reported by core temp. idle temps show core 1 being 1-2C higher. anyone have tips on mounting this thing?

i don't want to torque it down too much and damage the cpu, but i know that too little isn't going to do me much good either.

also, does anyone know the layout of the cores so that i might know which side isn't getting cooled properly?

nm, i'm an idiot. it just occurred to me to fire up super pi and push on the sides of the block to see which was which. temps are now as they should be.

for the record, it seems that core 0 is on the side with the locking bar and core 1 is on the opposite side.

I have a naked opteron as well and I cranked my fuzion down as tight as I could until I couldn't really turn the nuts by hand anymore (and I'm using different nuts, bigger ones so easier to torque down) A LOT of pressure on that naked die, no problems
