Big Bruin. each time I pulled the heat sink off the CPU, there was a complete impression on the bottom, but not too thick of a paste, atleast I'm pretty sure. And you said it could be 180* off? I don't recall seeing anything on the instructions about which way to mount it. Currently, the fins are parallel to the floor and the fan cable coming out on the right side (closest to cpu fan connector).

I was also wondering how tight it should be down on the chip? I tightened the four thumb screws down to the point where I can't turn them anymore by hand, while putting pressure on the plate so I can get the thumb screws down a good amount. The HSF doesn't move.
