Zalman CNPS7000A-Cu loose atachment

[kbssudo]

Hi,

I've just installed my Zalman cooler on my A7N8X and it seems a bit loose. Without effort, I can spin it a little, like a door knob. Shouldn't it be firmilly held in place?
I fear that its performance is affected by the lack of pressure against the CPU.
My temp readings (MBM5) on full load (Prime95 and Folding@Home running for 12 hours) are:

CPU Diode = 49C
CPU Socket = 42C

If it's really a problem with the cooler, any ideas on how to fix it?

It should be firmly pressing down on the CPU.

Better check your installation once again. The 7000A comes with fittings for three diferent sockets, make sure you used the ones for the socket 462.
