I just installed a Hyper 212 Evo over my i5-3570k. I screwed in the 4 screws snug but not super tight, and i spread out the thermal paste across the entire surface of the CPU. But when you apply semi-firm pressure/pushing on the heatsink it gives and slides a little bit, is that bad. Im worried because my idle temps are hovering around 37 C.
