Hey everyone, I got my shiny new Gigabyte 8IEXP this afternoon, along with a P4 1.8A. As I assembled it, I noticed the heatsink flexes the board quite a bit. The comp runs beautifully but I'm a bit worried about how much the board is bent.
I've read up on it since then and I realise that this is normal, but still I'm wondering
- If you're using a non-standard cooler, what is it and how does the board flex compare to that of the stock cooler?
- Has anyone had any problems as a result of this flexing?
- Has anyone come up with a simple fix? (I don't see how but it's eorth a try )
- Anyone got any general light to shed in the matter?
Thanks dudes.
