Instaling coller - How do I know when its right ?

[Dariusz]

Heya

Im kinda old school... so this one screw technology doesn't talk to me as good as the old one... Basically I got Notcua cooler for xeon's and 4 holes for screws, ya its easy to mount but how tight do I have to screw it to the board?

Thanx and bai

Oh com on no1 can tell me how strong I need to screw it to my mobo ? :/ is there any save limit or should I just push it to the limits?

 

[Dariusz]

Hey, sorry--would have told you to make it as tight as you can without "forcing" it! Once the screws feel pretty secure I usually give em 1/8 to 1/4 turn more--so they are what feels like 100% tight but without risking damage to the board.
