The instructions should tell you how much to tighten it. I know with most water block mounting, the retention springs should be tightened to about 60% of expanded capacity.

It shorted something, and my northbridge got so hot within 10 seconds of startup that i got third degree burns on my tounge cuz i was usin it to check temperatures. Anyways, it sux, get a Zalman 7000. Less chance of your board snapping in half. ( the previous opinion was biased to the max and does not represent the true nature of the cooler, other than its crapola ) |
