I've installed mine three times now and while it's not the greatest of assemblies it works fine once the screws are all tightened down. Just line up the bracket the best you can on center and start tightening down each screw a little until all four are tight. The heatsink isn't going anywhere after that and the base is making good contact with the CPU. The heatsink does twist some since all the pressure is in the center and the heatsink itself is not secured to the bracket but as long as it's making full contact in the center that's all that matters in terms of heat transfer. I noticed that mine doesn't twist as easy when I mount it horizontal instead of vertical.

You should have two temps for idle w/ a dual core machine. I would recommend that you download RMClock and report the idle temps from within that application. Also, what is room temp? Also, idle doesn't really tell much, what are your load temps (like 2x orthos running for at least 30 minutes)? Also, what are you system specs and what multiplier, fsb, and vcore are you using?

The FSB, VCore, and the Core clock all seem to be throttling..
Room temp 76-80F
As for Load temps I'll post that later
