Sorry boom123. Was out of town for a while. I didn't have any issues with installing the heat sink. All I did was install the back plate under the mobo and screwed it in tight. Sounds like the heat sink for your build is not making contact with the CPU, perhaps bad thermal paste or not screwed in enough?
For my heat problems I ultimately under clocked P7 to 400mhz using Fusion Tweaker ... and to mention a quiet 40mm case fan to vent the heat.
My only issue right now is with the remote control. Not all of the buttons map to standard MCE functions .... yea running MCE as well for live TV through HD Homerun Prime. I tried to use a Harmony programmed as MCE and it didn't work. Very odd .. evidently the included receiver and remote is not a generic MCE device. Anyway, working on training the Harmony, but may end up taking it back and settling with the purchase of a Rosewill RRC-126.
