motherboard flex

[Flowroro]

I dont know whether im installing my cpu cooler wrong because my motherboard has a bit of flex in it. i have a picture to show how flexed it is, can someone tell me if this is normal or i screwed up?

it normal with heavy coolers

this is normal. if it bothers you, add some rubber pads behind the part on the back where the CPU cooler is.

maybe its that fatass cooler on it

Completely normal. Don't be worried, your mobo won't snap, it's designed to be like that, and if you mount it vertically, it becomes less noticeable.

I'd probably bend that much if you put that cooler on me too!!  jk   It's pretty normal and should even out a bit even just by installing the mobo in a case.  When I was aircooling with large coolers I kept my mobo oriented horizontally to keep it from pulling down/away from the motherboard but I'm pretty sure that's just me being asinine since TONS of people use them and very few have problems.  As long as you aren't throwing your pc around you should be just fine
