Installing the Corsair A70

[cryogenics]

Hey guys, I just installed a Corsair A70 on my Intel i7 950 and uh, screwing in the bottom bracket to the top bracket to tighten the heatsink to the fan; How much is "too tight" ? I feel if I go anymore I am going to crack the processor!

Here is a well explained installation procedure -

Stop tightening the screws once you feel that you have to apply extra force to turn them.. The cooler just needs to be secure enough with its base fully and firmly in contact with the processor..

Thanks, yeah I feel as though it may be a litttttle tight, but it's not broken LOL (The processor that is). Thanks for the blog man, reassures me that I atleast did it right.
