Hello all.

I wanted to poke around for some opinions about this one.

I have been on the AMD side of the playing field since my P2 died. But just recently I built a new system for myself, and this time I went with a P4 2.8c system from scratch. Been building my own systems for a while now. But my first P4. So I was not familar with the plastic bracket surrounding the processor. I had seen them, but never worked with one. The MB is a Gigabyte GA-8IPE1000 Pro, and stock HS/Fan for the P4 2.8c.

Not being very familar with the P4 bracket system, I was extra carefull on it, and everything is seated correctly, and the HS/Fans levers are locked in possition & seated. Problem is (and I dont know if it really is a problem), it took more force to flit those levers into possition than I was expecting. And once everything was locked in place, I noticed that the back of the MB was just slightly buldged in that spot. Not enough to cause any damage or any serious concearn. But enough that I noticed.

This type of thing sound familar to anyone with the P4 brackets?

thanx in advanced.
