It was only when I reassembled this did I really think of the monstrosity I have made.

This is a slotket, then with a pin adapter for a Tualatin, then heatsink, then Noctua 60mm fan.

It actually works perfectly, and the fan is almost silent which is a bonus.

However...

I am slightly concerned about the horizontal stress on the slotket. It seems stable and working, and there is no signs of sag etc.

I'm just wondering, would you use it like this? I've considered a lower profile heatsink, but I'd like to avoid spending more if possible.

The RAM slot isn't blocked, FWIW, even if the angle makes it look that way.
