I'm working on my first ever build and just installed my coolermaster evo 212 onto my 4670k and the bottom of the cooler moved around quite a bit on top of the CPU during installation, does this cause issues in terms of the thermal paste spread between the two? i don't see any paste off the edges, none is visible at all so I hope that means its okay? I didn't expect to have to push down so hard to screw in the retention plate on the cooler and as a result I fiddled with it for a minute before I realized I had to push down and thats why it moved quite a bit.
