Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme Mounting
Is there any 'correct' orientation for mounting such a heatsink. No, I don't
care if it's straight, gay, or bi, just if there's a preferred way for it to
face.

I have mounted mine in a similar fashion to the one he

I.e. fan facing towards front of case. The case is an Antec P182. My temps
at stock speed are 44/45/49/50 for the four cores, though it doesn't change
a lot when overclocked to 3.2GHz. On the stock cooler I got around 55/60.

Also, when I mounted the heatsink, even though I tightened the screws up as
much as possible, the actual heatsink still moved in a rotary fashion by a
few degrees. Is this normal?

Cheers
