I installed my hyper 212 onto my 4690k today and i followed the instuctions to a T. The cooler sits in place perfectly and doesn't move but if i apply manual force to the cooler i can get it to rotate a wee bit on either side. Is that normal with the hyper 212?

CPU-i5 4690k 4.4ghz @ 1.190V, MOBO-MSI z97 gaming 3, Cooler-hyper 212 evo, GPU- r9 290x asus directcuII (-37Mv), Storage-120gb v300(switching soon), 1tb caviar blue, CASE-Red/black h440, PSU-Antec TPC 650.

Yup that's normal as long as your temps are fine there's no need to worry.

Yeah, everyone I know personally with a 212 can get it to wiggle a bit. Doesn't seem to affect performance though.

"Rawr XD"

Yeah, its because or bracket design. They use single bolt in the middle to keep the thing together. Everybody knows if you have hinge, things move around it.
