I am just curious. Installing this on an intel 2500k and z68 mobo, how tight do you guys make the screws? I was unsure on exactly how tight to go. I was a little cautious not to go too far worrying about too much pressure.
 
Which screws? The mount screws (mount to the mobo,) or the heat exchanger screws (spring tensioned thumbscrews?)

I put the mount screws in snug/tight... but not that extra 'oomph!' I usually put into tightening things...

The heatsink mount thumbscrews... bottom them out, the springs provide the proper tension/pressure for the heatsink/CPU.
 
Yeah, not the mount screws...thats obvious....


The spring thumbscrews. You really bottomed them out huh? I dunno, I asked other people and they said basically until it feels like you have to add quite a bit of force to it. It just felt like if I were to bottom them out, it would be way too much pressure. Anyways, not a serious issue, I was just curious.
