No, it's not typical for these fans to spin too freely. They should operate within safe limits for optimal performance.

Hey there! It sounds like your PC build might need a bit more attention with the fan mounting. Loose mounts can definitely cause issues, especially at higher speeds. Make sure everything is securely fastened and check if the screws are tight enough. If it still feels unstable, you might want to double-check the installation or consider reinforcing the setup.

It's typical for the device to exhibit slight movement from side to side, but ensure all four corners are firmly pressed onto the fin stack.

You're suggesting it's acceptable. I'm relieved, but still a bit annoyed since I expected more constraints.

It seems okay unless it’s not secure enough to shake or there’s something hidden that could cause a problem.

Sure, I understand. You're wondering if there should be two rubber stripes on both the heatsink and the front fan, even though you only see two on the heatsink.

It seems to suggest that if the item is brand new and wasn't taken out, it probably isn't.
