CPU Cooler bracket noise

[denizdeni]

I recently changed my CPU to Ryzen 5 3600x, when i replaced the CPU the bracket came off and i pushed with my hand and continue to building the PC. After starting the PC in bracket zone there is a vibrating noise cames up when only CPU fans working on higher RPM. I opened the front cover and i pushed to screw of one side and noise disappeared. After i take my finger back the noise back again too.
 

I tried to thight the screw's. It's works a little bit but after some hours due heat, the noise come backs too and If i make PC horizontal or upside down (lol) the noise dissapears.

My previous cpu is ryzen 3 2200g. Of course there is no issue before that.
 

My motherboard: MSI B450M PRO-M2 MAX

You should take the bracket off and check for damage. You might have to replace it.

I think OP is referring to the motherboard's backplate as a "bracket" and it broke during the CPU cooler installation

you're quite possibly correct, but that's why I want a picture because 'bracket' isn't very descriptive and could talk about a few things.

Sorry for this, english is not my main language, i meant this.

[tkitch]

yup, that's a backplate.  Did you break off one of the corner nuggets or something?

[tdkid]

You'll need to take the entire thing off and check for damage on the front and backplate. Is it the cooler that comes with the CPU (See image)?

 

If so you may just want to replace the whole thing with a cheap/better alternative...the Hyper 212 LED comes with a backplate system of its own so even if yours is broken it will work fine and be much quieter. It's available here for $ 35.

Okay i'm checking it.

well in that case, the only thing i know to do that might solve it is to loosen all the screws and then retighten them as evenly as possible. 

[denizdeni]

I dont think there is a broken part.

 

 

P.S: I maybe used a lot of thermal paste. Don't mind that.

[denizdeni]

Anyway i fixed the issue. It's just uneven screws...

The new issue is cpu temp, Prime95 small chunk test is 92 degree... So i have to open another thread for it.

Thanks to everyone.

For the temps:

 

Did you apply fresh paste when reinstalling?  You generally have to.

 

When installing screws on a heatink:  Make sure you just /start/ all 4, before even considering tightenting in an X pattern.

The degree's always same even in the first day of it. I'm gonna use it like that.

Yep, tightening 2 full turns on each screw at a time will ensure you stay even.

Your best bet is just snagging a better CPU cooler but definitely redo thermal paste during each removal if you're not going to...even cheap thermal paste from Amazon like Arctic Silver will be better than the stock paste and it's like $5-7.

every time you remove the CPU cooler. its a good idea to clean off the paste from the cooler and the CPU and reapply it. the thermal paste most people say is the best is from thermal grizzly

Note that this is purely based on performance, not usability or suction to the CPU which is what turned me off to it. Also, 100% agree that it needs to be cleaned every time...depending on the machine I either use alcohol pads (High alcohol percentage like these) or a removal kit like this one.

 

Edit: Added a different link to the alcohol pads as the price for the others were scalper prices lol.
