I am putting this on my system and the X-bracket in the back is not tight... I have the screws tighened down pretty snug but the bracket still has slop in it... is this ok?

I think I got it in OK. 25 deg C OK for a cpu idle temp?

I am going to assume this is using the 2600k. If so, those are great temps. As long as your load temps are good too, you are good to go! :)
