I'm pretty sure that the LGA775 heatsink is installed properly. The pins seem to be pushed down all the way, and it doesn't seem loose if you try to move it or pull the heatsink.

I have an Antec P180 case, it has 3x120 mm fans total: 1 on the top to exhaust heat, one in the back to exhaust heat (these are both close to the CPU), and one down in the bottom of the case blowing on the PSU. When I was putting together the system I did think that it was weird that there wasn't any intake fans in the front of the case...perhaps I should try moving the bottom fan to the front?

Here's a picture of the setup:
