Friday I just built a new rig (2500k, AS5 Thermal) and am using a hyper 212+. The box was missing one of the nuts so the heatsink is only mounted on three of the four corners. It is stably mounted to the motherboard and doesn't move but I'm curious if this setup will jeopardize the cooling/performance of the heatsink. I am hoping to OC but wanted to make sure this mounting issue won't decrease cooling.
