silver heatsink on A8N32-sli delux

[velocci]

hi, i finally got my A8N32-sli delux. I did notice something about the board. if you look at the board so the I/O ports are on the top, there is a silver heatsink on the right edge of the board. I noticed that this heatsink moves a bit. Is this normal? did anyone else notice this?

I just checked mine, and it also wobbles

Is this normal?

I have no idea, but my system seems to be running ok

As long as it doesn't fall off and short something out you should be ok.

Some movement is not necessary bad.

Yeah - not too worried about it tbh.

It's just a passive cooling solution for some of the power transistors used in the 8-channel power circuit.
