The Zalman 7000 and my AK86-L

Ok, you know those "nipples" with the Zalman 7000?

Ok well the backplate isn't flush against the mobo if I use the nipples. This leaves for a lot of play when I mount the HSF. So what should I do? Anyone else got this problem? Should I go san nipples on this?

Same thing happened to me with the exact same setup. So I stacked two washers each beneath the board and then put the two regular washers on top. There's a "little" bit of wiggle from the backplate, but at least the HSF mounts firmly from the top.

Ugs... I couldn't deal with that wiggle. I think I'll just go without the nipples.

Thanks for letting me know it wasn't just me.
