Cpu Cooler Bracket touching VRMs

Just installed the cpu cooler on the motherboard and the top bracket of the cpu cooler is "sitting" on top of the vrams. It doesn't apply any sort of pressure AFAIK. The cpu cooler was mounted with care. Temps after some stress testing seem fine. No problems so far

 

I assumed it actually kinda works as a heat sink for the vrms just wanted to make sure it's not a bad idead.. Anyone else encountered this situation before?

Can you provide a picture?

 

EDIT: That looks fine as long as it doesn't put any pressure on the caps.

I just loosely tightend the screws so it's enough to keep the cooler in place. It seemed there was even a little space left. hard to see though.

 

I don't hear any vibration or anything suspicious after couple of hours of use. I might loosen it a bit tomorrow or see if a piece of paper can fit under it.. Only way I can see if it's actually touches the vrms

I'd try sliding a piece of paper between it. If you're lucky it's just a really tiny gap but not actually touching.
