>now its sitting pretty weirdly

what did he mean by this

>>62305386
its sagged you nigger

>>62305406
and it wasn't before ?

post a picture you absolute retard changing thermal paste is the easiest shit of all time how do you fuck that up

>>62305412
when there were 4 screws it wasnt now there is just 2 and the shroud looks a bit sagged, does it have any purpose in cooling or can i take that shit off, i dont care about aesthetics

>>62305416
you fucking cunt i lost the shroud screws everything else is good

>>62305421
you mean the fins are attacked totally fine but the shroud around them is sagging? then it doesnt matter. check your temps nigger if theyre good youre fine

>>62305421
the shroud would help with airflow i think, it's best to leave it on. you could always try taking it off and see if the temp is affected just to test. just don't lose the other screws

>>62305430
bruh how do you brush ur teeth check temps

>>62305439
also you could just go buy some tiny screws at a hardware store if you really want to

>>62305444

>>62305469
ok if temps are fine then who cares

the buyer might not like it missing screws though
